Make a template for a database

S

SLP

I have created a database in access 2000 where I can log characters in a
story for someone who is writing a book. They want to use this for other
books that they plan on writing. Is there a way to make a database a
template where it retains the look in view form every time without having to
redo the database?

thanks

Hi Lynn,

I hope you've already had your question answered but here goes anyway.

In Windows Explorer copy YourCurrentApplication. Move to YourNewFolder,
Paste YourCurrentApplication. Rename YourCurrentApplication to
YourNewApplication.

One by one, open the tables in YourNewApplication and delete all the
entries. You now have an empty database that looks exactly like the
existing one.
