Update Access database templates

[Guest]

Microsoft Office Online has some really useful database templates for Access
-- if you have Access 2000 installed! Tough luck if you have a more recent
version. I am astonished that Microsoft Corporation only has templates for an
obsolete version of one of their products.

The Access 2000 templates work fine with Access 2002 or Access 2003. You
just can't open them directly from the web site, you have to download them
first.

Thanks Brendan, that's great to know. I was thrown by the statement,
"Templates can be automatically downloaded only if the required program and
version are installed on your computer. This template requires Access 2000,
which was not found on your computer. " I didn't realise that I could
download it manually and then open it in Access 2002.
