The task at hand was to create a program using Dynamic Queries to search an Access database of real estate properties in Canmore. The user can select their query using controls along the lefthand side of the window and instantly see the query results in the map of Canmore.

Visual Variables were used in the representation of each real estate property on the map:

• Position was used to show the location of each home in Canmore
• Shape was used for the style of home
• Color and Value were used for the asking price
• Size was used for the overall size of the house (combination of any or all of the following: bedrooms, baths, floor area, lot size)
