A full answer to this exercise is provided as part of the training course!

1)	Download the files needed to start this exercise: exercise-720.zip (and click here if you experience any problems unzipping this file after downloading it).
2)	Open the database in the above folder.
3)	Create a grouping and totalling query which shows the highest box office by year:
	The second field has been renamed, because we want to refer to it later in another query
4)	Save this query as BoxOfficeMaxByYear, then close it down.
5)	Create a second query based on the first query showing the title for each year of the highest grossing film:
	This query joins the Films table to a query
6)	Save this query as BoxOfficeMaxTitles, then close it and the database down.

Thank you for showing an interest in this Access Introduction for Developers training course! As mentioned above, full answers to this and other exercises are provided on the course.
