But the Northwind database is the demo that's fair game to do whatever you feel like experimenting with.
Hmmm demo, you mean it's already somewhere in Office 97? I should point out I have Office 97.
Personally, I think you're better off starting from scratch. Create a couple of tables. Populate them with a couple of rows. And then muck with them in the queries and reports. Also, be aware that there are multiple levels from the programming standpoint. On the one level you have tables/queries/reports. The next level is macros. Finally, there's VBScript. Don't get lost in the higher levels before you're done with the basics.
Ok, so you think that's a better idea than working with a table with say, 1,100+ entries? That's the only table/database I have created.
I think she wants tables/queries/reports, unless merging and export/import goes up to one of those next levels.
Thanks.
