MS Access templates

02-04-2001 9:26 AM

MS Access is an extremely powerful database program. Creating useful and user friendly databases can take many hours to develop. Is there a good site to download Access templates that can then be massaged to the specific needs of non-profits.

Here's a few ideas:<:LINEBREAK:><:LINEBREAK:>My favourite site for Access resources, problem-solving and code downloads is Dev Ashish's "The Access Web". I have used this many times to solve all sorts of issues with my databases.<:LINEBREAK:>(http://www.mvps.org/access/)<:LINEBREAK:><:LINEBREAK:>You can also take a look at this basic contacts database http://www.roga.demon.co.uk/access/.<:LINEBREAK:><:LINEBREAK:>And, in case anyone isn't aware, Access itself comes with a number of example databases. Access 2000 includes: Contact Management, Event management, Asset Tracking and more. And Access 97 included a Donations, a Membership and a Students & Classes database. Simple but they're a start.<:LINEBREAK:><:LINEBREAK:>Hope this helps.<:LINEBREAK:><:LINEBREAK:>Ivan Wainewright<:LINEBREAK:>ivan@itforcharities.co.uk

Thanks for the tips, Ivan... I would also add to the list NPower's Devolio. Here is my short review for TechSoup:<:LINEBREAK:>
