relational template

[Guest]

I need a template for a database similar to that used by an employment
agency. I am internship coordinator for a university department. We have a
few dozen standard employers who have been with us for years, and new
students every semester who work for them. I need contact info on the
employers, plus progress and grade data on the interns. I also need reports
on which students worked for whom, and roster reports on a semester basis.
This would take 2 tables plus many queries. Is there a template that would do
this for me?

The number and scope of templates have been expanded for Access 2007.
There's no valid business model for anyone to create templates unless they
happen to be Microsoft making their product more usable. Most others who
try to help, do so by creating sample databases, not templates. Searching
using Google with appropriate search terms/words might find you some
samples, examples, freeware, or shareware.

Good point. So can you suggest search terms? Or, can you tell me which of the
Access 2003 templates available from Microsoft are, in fact, relational
two-table databases? I honestly can't tell much from the descriptions.
