I'm looking for an easily modified template that can be used for many church
functions...pancake supper, cookie exchange, spaghetti supper, and so on.
 
This is an Access newsgroup. We build DATABASES in ACCESS.

Please post your question in a more appropriate newsgroup. Or, better yet,
do a search in a search engine (such as Google) and try to find the document
you seek. Microsoft.com also offers templates. There is a 'template' link
on the home page of microsoft.com.

Good Luck,

Dear Grandma:

Are you looking for a database management template to organize these
activities, or a word processing template to create fliers or posters or
other similar documents? This is a newsgroup for questions relating to the
Microsoft Access database management program. I wonder if you might be
better off posting in a newsgroup relating to a word processing program
(Microsoft Word), or desktop publishing program (Microsoft Publisher)...

You could try the following newsgroups:

microsoft.public.word.newusers

microsoft.public.publisher

Good luck!

Please make suggestions for templates at the Template Gallery. Go to
www.microsoft.com, then follow the links to Office, then Template Gallery,
then 'Have a suggestion for a template? Tell us!" That way, your suggestion
will actually be seen by the people who produce templates. As far as we are
aware, those people do not monitor this newsgroup, and will not see your
suggestion here.

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.

I'm not sure what kind of template you're looking for, but I think
you've probably come to the wrong newsgroup. This one is devoted to
discussion of Microsoft Access, the databaase program.

Probably Microsoft's help system has misguided you here. On the page
from which you got here, there's a dropdown list of topic areas, and the
first in the list is "Access". That's not for "general access to
Microsoft", though. Use that dropdown to locate a newsgroup with a more
suuitable topic; maybe (I'm guessing) one of the Word topics.
 
It's clear that none of you have ever done this sort of thing.
Access is a very good choice for such events.
Who was here last year, the year before?
Who is going to help and are they new? What can they do, when can the do it.
What do we need, where did we get it, what did we pay, who is in charge,
what are the prizes, where did we get them.....????

And it can print the tickets, keep track of who won what and make life easy
when Martha walks out in a huff with all that information in her head and
*you* get the job.
 
Dear Mike:

As far as I am concerned, you are absolutely correct: I have never done this
before! And I certainly would defer to more those with more skill at Access
than I have if she required help in developing an Access application for
this purpose! ;)

However, I *did* ask whether she was looking for a database solution or some
other type of software solution. I think it is reasonable to suggest that an
alternative type of software might suit her needs. I don't presume to speak
for the others, but Joan does suggest a source for database templates, Dirk
suggests that she "probably" wants a different type of template, and
Brendan's response also seems, to me, a perfectly reasonable one; she
*might* be making a suggestion for possible templates.

Unless she describes her needs more fully, I suspect we'll never know for
sure! If she does come back, I am certain that, taken together, all of our
responses will prove helpful to her!

Cheers!
Fred Boer

P.S. I see that Joan suggested a source for database templates, BTW...
