Hello all,
I am trying to locate a user friendly, weekly, Payroll Database that can
handle multi-person and multi-task. I am trying to drag some of my old school
managers into the 21st century but do not have time to reinvent the wheel.
(We are using MS Office 2003.)
Anybody out there have anything they are willing to share.
Thanks,
Chris

There's no business model that justifies anyone creating Access templates
except Microsoft. Others who create examples tend to post complete databases
that you have to go in and modify if you want to change something, rather
than having forms from which you make selections, as in the templates.

I don't know of a template for payroll for Access 2003 or earlier, and I
don't believe all the new templates for Access 2007 are yet published
(though some are). I'd guess, because of many differing state laws that
apply, it may be difficult to find what you are looking for (a template, or
even a generally-applicable sample/example database).

There are a number of accounting products that might have what you want at
reasonable cost, and some have ways to allow access to their data from
Access. For reviews of accounting software that may be of interest, visit

I'm sending you a _copy_ of the newsgroup reply to your post so you'll be
sure to receive this 'gentle admonition'. Newsgroups are for sharing and
learning, not for "free consulting by e-mail", and it is considered bad form
to ask for response by e-mail. For good suggestions on effective use of
newsgroups, see the FAQ at http://www.mvps.org/access/netiquette.htm. It's
also not a good idea at all to post your 'unmunged' e-mail, because the
spammers and bad-hackers harvest them and target you for spam and malware.
So as not to contribute to that, I've xxx'd out part of it, in this post.

Clicking through on your hyperlink gives a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error.

It's more than a little ironic that you should give a bad link in a response
that deprecates someone for coming to a general Access newsgroup with a
new-user level of question. Maybe it would be a good idea for you, too, to
review http://www.mvps.org/access/netiquette.htm for some tips on effective
use of newsgroups. Or, maybe you can't relate because you were never a
"newbie"? Most (I thought _all_) of us were, at one time.
