    Hi  Asemahle Mbekwa

    Based on my testing, here are the steps to create the table, form, query, and report as requested. 

    1/ Create the Students table 

    • Open Microsoft Access
    • Create a new blank database. 
    • Go to Create > Table Design
    • Add these fields: 
      • StudentID: AutoNumber
      • FirstName: Short Text
      • Surname: Short Text
      • Department: Short Text
    • Select the StudentID row. 
    • Select Primary Key
    • Save the table as: Students

    2/ Create the student form 

    • In the left Navigation Pane, select the Students table. 
    • Go to Create
    • Select Form
    • Access creates a form from the Students table. 
    • Save the form as: frmStudents 
    • Close the form in Design View, save the changes, and then open the form again from the Navigation Pane. 
    • Use the form to enter each student record. Leave the StudentID field blank because Access will generate it automatically when StudentID is set to AutoNumber

    3/ Create the query 

    • Go to Create
    • Select Query Wizard
    • Choose Simple Query Wizard
    • Select OK
    • Choose the Students table. 
    • Move only these fields to Selected Fields
      • FirstName  
      • Surname 
      • Department 
    • Select Next
    • Select Finish
    • Save the query as: qryStudentsDept  

    4/ Create the report 

    • In the left Navigation Pane, select the query: qryStudentsDept  
    • Go to Create
    • Select Report Wizard
    • Make sure the query is selected. 
    • Add these fields: 
      • FirstName  
      • Surname 
      • Department 
    • Select Next
    • Choose any sorting/grouping if required, or skip it. 
    • Select a sort order.
    • Select a layout. 
    • Select Finish
    • Save the report as: rptStudentsDept 

    I hope this provides additional insight
