The easiest way to create a database is by using one of the built-
in database templates. Templates save you time and effort,
providing you with ready-to-use tables, forms, queries, and
reports.

1 Start Microsoft Access or click the File tab on the ribbon and
select New.

2 Type a word that describes the type of database you want to


create in the Search for Templates field and press Enter.

Access displays a list of templates that match the term you


entered.

3 Click a template button for the template you want to use.

The right side of the screen changes to display information


about that type of database.

Here you can give the new file a name of your choosing.
Access displays the file path to the location where your file
will be saved, but you can change the location.

4 Give your new database a name.

5 Click the Create button or the Download button.

Create a New Blank Database
Now let’s look at how to create a database without a template.
The advantage of creating a blank database is that you have the
most flexibility and control over your database design. The
disadvantage is that you must create every table, form, report,
and query yourself.

1 Start Microsoft Access or click the File tab on the ribbon and
select New.

2 Click the Blank desktop database button in the Available


Templates section.

will be saved, but you can change the location.

4 Click the Create button.

Access creates a new, blank database and creates a new, blank


table where you can start storing data.
