Create new database...
Hello all,
I just installed Office 2007 Ultimate on this computer with Windows Vista. I'm trying to create a new blank database, but Access 2007 won't give me any option to provide the name or the location for the new file. All I have is the option to open an existing one. Can you tell me what's wrong here ? MTIA, Klerman |

Create new database...
When you launch Access, you should see a screen entitled "Getting Started
with Microsoft Office Access". Below this title is an icon entitled "Blank Database". Click this icon, and the [Blank Database] pane will appear on the right-hand-side. Enter the desired filename in the [File Name] box, and click [Create] Below the [File Name] box is the folder into which the new database will be created. If you don't like that destination, click the folder icon to the right of the box. The [File New Database] dialog is displayed. Find the folder into which you want the new database created, give the database a name, and click OK. Then,as above, click [Create]. At any time you can click the Office button (the circle at the extreme top-left of the Access application window), and select [New]. This displays the [Getting Started] screen.

Graham,
The problem here is that I click on the "Create New Database" icon, and the left pane won't appear. In the left side of the screen I only have an option to open an existing database.

Create new database...
This Vista installation was done over an XP installation as an upgrade. The
computer was very slow and I had several problems like this one with Access. So I did a clean installation on it, and installed Office again. Now all features work as expected. Thank you very much for the help. |
