Access Templates


Templates

What is a template? A template is a preformatted design and build of a database. Templates are found in the File and New area of the Access backstage view. There are many pre-loaded Access templates which are always good to look at to get ideas or use if you have understanding of how Access works.

Saving a template

You can create your own template. The process is to either create a database structure from scratch or import a database structure which has already been created. Once it is ready, save the database as a template. This is just a file save as and then selecting the database option.

Using a Template

To use a template, select File then the new option. Navigate to your template, which should appear in the personal area. When you click on it, it will ask you if you want to name it. It is important to name the database at this stage, otherwise it will be called database 1 or something similar. Once the database is open it is a copy of the template and not the original.
