The Templates section

When you start Microsoft Access, you see the initial welcome screen. For online users of Microsoft Access 2007, the content of the welcome screen changes from time to time as Microsoft updates the online templates available on the Microsoft Web site.

We’ll take a look at creating a new database in the “Creating a Database” section of this chapter. In the meantime, let’s take a look at the purpose of online templates. Microsoft has long been concerned that building Access databases is too difficult for most people. Not everyone takes the time to understand the rules governing database design, or to learn the intricacies of building tables, queries, forms, and reports.

Microsoft established the online templates repository as a way to provide beginners and other busy people the opportunity to download partially or completely built Access applications. The template databases cover many common business requirements such as inventory control and sales management. You may want to take a moment to explore the online templates, but they aren’t covered in these chapters about Access.
