Developing MS Access Template

[abdullah khan]

I recently developed two different projects in MS Access:
1. Medical Inventory System
2. Vehicle Inventory System

Now, I want to make a template of these projects. So kindly tell me how to develop Access templates from these project.

Bundle of thanks in advance.

Take the data out and put in some test/temp data and save as mydatabasetemplate.accdb. If your design has any hardcoded paths, etc. you either have to design in some config type objects or set it up manually when you deploy...

I didnt get you my dear. Please clarify it a bit.

Well - I'm guessing you have a copy of the db running somewhere - just make a copy on your local machine and delete the data and you have an 'empty' copy or template that you can install elsewhere.

I don't think you can make a template in the same way that you can make an Excel or Word template. You just have to make a database with the features you want your template to have, then when you come to start a new project, you take a copy of your database and start working on it from there.

So if you just want to be able to start new databases that are the same as the ones you already have, just take a copy of them, delete all the data out, and start from there.
