Access 2007 database and templates built for Microsoft access 2007 in many examples for small business and non profit organization. Access 2007 is a database program.

. The Template for Events in Access 2007 has two fields labeled START TIME and END Time. The only data type allowed is a DATE, as in 02/08/11. This is not a time. When I change the data type for the field to time 00:00AM, it still only allows a DATE. This makes no sense whatsoever. This template should have a fields for EVENT DATE, START TIME and END TIME.

Templates For Microsoft Access 2007

I does not allow the field names to be changed, or columns to be added. MS help says to use the 'new field' column to add, but there isn't one in this template.

Is there any way to get this to function at all? Is there any way to Contact someone at Microsoft to let them know they are marketing a completely useless product? There is only one date/time datatype. There are not separate datatypes for date and time.

A date.time value is stored as a double precision number where the integer portion is the number of days since and the time portion is a decimal fraction of a 24 hour day. For example: 6:00 AM is stored as.25. I took a look at this template and even though the labels are listed as time, the validation rule and format is set for a date.If you want to add fields to this template, you need to set the Nav Pane to display all objects and open the Events table in Design mode.

Microsoft Access Inventory Database Templates

Hi Terry, So to me, it seems like you're touching on two different topics with this question. The more obvious of the two is 'how does one modify a template to accommodate a table structure change?' Which would also lead to what is probably the more important question, 'how should I modify my tables to account for the described scenario?' We can answer the template question only generally, but I think I can give you a good start on the table structure change. I'll start there since you'll need to account for your table changes in order to make the desired changes to the rest of the template. The scenario you laid out seems to describe a many-to-many relationship.

It sounds like you can have many types of parts, and that any of these parts could show up at any number of different locations. Access doesn't have a mechanism to allow for a many-to-many relationship between two tables, but it's possible to put one together using a junction table.

This article has a pretty good description of many-to-many relationships: Also, I haven't watched this video, but it did come up on a search on help for many-to many relationships on the Office.Microsoft.com site, so you may want to give it a look: The basic idea is that you would have one table with a list of all locations, another with a list of parts, and then a central table that contains the foreign key fields for both of those tables along with any pertinent information about the parts at that location. Your data might look like this once you entered it in the junction table: Part No Location Part Count 123 Seattle 28 124 Seattle 45 125 Seattle 205 123 Orlando 60 124 Orlando 12 As you can see, this allows you to track the quantity of part 123 in Seattle, and the quantity of the same part number in your Orlando office. Does that come close to what you're trying to do?

As for modifying the template, I typically would advise against it, simply because there are so many potential pitfalls. In order for the forms and reports in those templates to work correctly, you need to remove all references to fields that will be removed and make sure that you're adding controls for any fields that you do add and need reflected on the final objects. You also have to address any potential changes in the code or macros. You'll want to familiarize yourself with the record source and control source properties of forms/reports and their various controls. If you can get that part down you stand a better chance of being able to tear apart the objects that have been built and substitute your own data in them. It can be done, but it's very likely to be a giant headache. My recommendation would be to get your data structured in your tables correctly and then use the form and report building tools to build your objects based on your tables and or queries.

If you can get the data part right, you can usually get a fairly good form to start with just by highlighting your source object in the navigation pane and clicking on Create, then Form or Report. Terry, I know that's probably not the answer you were looking for, but I want to make sure I'm as up-front as possible about what you're up against if you decide to modify an existing template.
