Site for Access Database Templates?

[rlingen]

Does anyone know of an Internet site, or other source, for pre-programmed Access Database Templates?

I don't really have time to do a decent job of the application I am thinking of, and life would be a lot simpler if I could find or buy an application that is very close to my eventual needs -- of course with open code that I could modify if necessary.

I am thinking about a "Sales on consignment" application. It would need to have a Master Product table (ideally added to by barcodes, although not necessary), a Consignor's/Buyers table, a table to keep track of all the Products that a particular Consignor has consigned, invoicing capability for Buyers, statement capability for Consignors, keeping track of what's been sold and what the Consignor has been paid for.

I see most of the work in the invoicing/statement part, along with the updating of the individual records once a Consignor statement has been generated and paid.

I look forward to your thoughts.

I am also interested in the above question. I would like a Contact managment database (sort of like ACT) but would like to alter it myself for my needs. Rlingen, I know you could start researching by doing a search on "shareware" and "Access" but I don't know what you will find. (I will do the same) But if someone knows of a specific site, that would be great.

Dawnd3,

I think you will find what you are looking for in the "open code databases" list on this page:

Still looking for a Consignment Sales program for less than $300 !

Microsoft provides a number of sample databases and database wizards with various versions of Access. For Dawn, Access 2000 includes a Contacts database wizard. It was probably part of Access 97, also.

There are some sites that offer sample databases for download. Here are a few examples.

A web search may be needed to find more samples. I tried the following search on Google.

"microsoft access" database (samples or templates)
