I want a Database Templete to build an auto parts catalog

[Guest]

I am builing a database to sell volkswagon auto parts online and plan use
various manufacturers catalogs to build the database. I need a database
templete for this purpose but microsoft online does not seem to have a
templete for catalogs.

In the Create Table Wizard, I'd guess that the sample "Products" Table
will contain many of the fields you might want to use. Just choose the
fields that look suitable.

Also, look at the "Northwind Traders" sample database for ideas about
how to organize your information.

Correct; it doesn't. There are so many different kinds of catalogs,
each of which would require different datatypes. An auto parts
catalog, a seed catalog, and a clothing catalog would have some fields
in common... but more that are different.

You're not likely to find anything that you can just fire up and use;
you'll need to either build the database that YOU want, or hire
someone to do so.

Doesn't VW provide support for their retailers?
