pre-programmed database

[tag]

Know of any companies/individuals that will sell/share pre-programmed database files? Anything from inventory to sales or anything in between.

Seems like someone would have some blank "templates" available.

just curious

I'm not quite sure what you're after - an actual product to save you writing a new database or some useful hints & tricks.

For the latter I have found that the book "Access 97 Bible" contains a CD with some clever tricks using combo boxes and forms, which I have found quite inspirational (I am assuming newer versions of the book will have the same). You may find other books offer similar goodies (if you do, let me know...)

Hey maybe we should start a book review section...just a thought...

Sorry I was a little unclear. Yes, I'm looking for something pre-written, so I don't have to write something new.

I am aware of "Northwind", but I guess I'm looking for something a bit more simple, and some varied "canned" databases.

Thanks for replying

"Anything from inventory to sales or anything in between" covers a whole raft of applications.

What is it you are trying to find...can you be more specific?

I am looking for a sales/inventory/ordering database, much like the Northwind sample, but a bit more simplified.

Other than that, I was just wondering if anyone offered blank, pre-written databases for varied uses. Maybe project tracking, employee information, office equipment inventory, expense tracking, just to name a few.

I guess I was hoping for a list of the databases that this company or individual offers.

Seems like it might be a good secondary market business to write and offer pre-programmed blank (no data) databases.

I don't know.....maybe I'm too lazy, and I think too much!

Perfect!

Thanks Pat. I never knew these existed. It's a great place to start, then I can massage it as needed.

Question answered, problem solved.
