Exercise: Action queries - make big countries

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

1)	Download the files needed to start this exercise: exercise-727.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 query which will make a new table called BigCountries.  Your query should put in this new table only countries having more than 1,000,000 square miles, and then only the 3 fields shown below.
4)	Run your query, save it as qryMakeBigCountries and then close it down.
5)	Open the (brand new) BigCountries table.  This should look something like this:
	The UK comes 21st with 94,525 square miles - pitiful!
6)	Close this table and your database.
