MS Access Forum / New Users / April 2006How do I get to the sample databases
I was reading a question and the attached postings. In one of the postings it suggested to see the Northwind Sample Database. I very new to this and don't know where to find the sample dbs.  SignatureThanks, Lori :) It was on the installation CD. If you can't find it (in the Samples folder under wherever you've installed msaccess.exe), perhaps you didn't install it.

Hi Doug, A week or two ago I noticed for the first time that Access 2003 (at least on the computer I'm using now) has a Sample Databases item on the Help menu. >It was on the installation CD.

Paths are: Office 97 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office97\Office\Samples Office 2000 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 2000\Office\Samples Office 2003 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 2003\Office11\Samples This is providing as was mentioned, you did install Alternatively Search using Windows Exploer for *.MDB will show all Access Databases > Hi Doug, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Please respond in the newgroup and not by email. > Paths are: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > This is providing as was mentioned, you did install It's also providing you accepted the default file folders. <g> (although I'm not sure that the default for Office 97 is what you've suggested) SignatureDoug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) Doug could be right on office 97, I have all three programmes loaded, programming on each version depending on who needs the programme at work.(Legal Copies of course) In order to load all three, I seem to remember having to change 97 but 2k and 2.003k should be correct. > > Paths are: > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > (although I'm not sure that the default for Office 97 is what you've > suggested) Reg > I was reading a question and the attached postings.

When I try to access the sample database "Northwind" I get the reply that the file is in an external drive such as CD etc. How can I get this file/data. >> I was reading a question and the attached postings.

It comes on the Office CD, but you do have to explicitly install it. Try rerunning the installation to install it. If that doesn't work, take a look at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c6661372-8dbe-422b-8676 -c632d66c529c&DisplayLang=en SignatureDoug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) |
