Access Database
I am thinking about building an Access database, however,
I think I might be in over my head. Is there a site that I can go to and download an existing database that will do everything I need it to do for free? |

Access Database
In addition to the fine link provided to you by Doug G, do not forget that
every version of Access ships with a sample database named Northwind.MDB which provides an Orders and Customers interface, plus it is very handy when beginning with Access to refer to it when you want to know "how did they do that"? -- Cheryl Fischer, MVP Microsoft Access wrote in message ...

-----Original Message----- I am thinking about building an Access database, however, I think I might be in over my head. Is there a site that I can go to and download an existing database that will do everything I need it to do for free? . That depends on what you want to do with the database. Access databases can be very simple or very complex. What is the nature of the data and what do you want to do with it? |

Access Database
Please do not take this as criticism: it is obvious from your question
that you are, indeed, "in over [your] head" -- you don't know what you don't know -- but that doesn't mean that you can't learn. One way to learn is by doing. Access comes with database Templates that will help you set up common types of databases. There are more Templates available from the Microsoft Web site. Creating a database using a Template is a good way to get your feet wet (you may even find a Template that exactly suits your needs). The "Access (your version here) Bible" is an excellent resource/tutorial. Consider taking a database class (or, even better, an Intro to Access class) at your local college. Have Fun! steve wrote in message ... I am thinking about building an Access database, however, I think I might be in over my head.
