- What error? How you gain that template? From web or from MS-Access template library?
- I'm quite sure the templates are the same regardless of the source. There may be, I imagine, different problems with the process of downloading the templates from different sources.
George_Hepworth Hi George. Thanks for the info. I cannot paste the error. However, I have emailed it to you. I have never used Access. This is the first time I am using it as a database. I simply click on the "contacts" template database. And out pops the error. Indicating that the template database "could not be installed". If I create a new database. It works. However, I don't have time to learn Access and therefore need to use the template database. I have been chatting to MS Technicians and they have attempted to use updates and the like to fix the error. However unsuccessfully. The technician then pointed in the direction of this forum. Please could you assist? Thank you.
- Hi there it is a template database.
We know what the Contacts template is, along with the many other templates Microsoft offers.
What you failed to include is any details about the error you apparently encountered.
Perhaps you could gain some insight by reading this blog post about how to get answers in online forums.
