Creating an Application Part Using a Template
An application part template is a predefined portion of a database, such as a table or form, or an entire database application that you can quickly insert and use in a database. Access provides several templates including: Comments, Contacts, Issues, Tasks, Users, and Blank Forms. You can also create your own custom application part template from a database. You can use the Create tab to quickly insert an application part template. When you insert an application part, such as Contacts, you get a table, form, and report, and the option to create a relationship. After you insert an application part, you can add and change fields to meet your own needs, and then name and save it in the database.

- Click the Create tab.
- Click the Application Parts button.
- Click a template (Blank Forms and Quick Starts: Comments, Contacts, Issues, Tasks, or Users) you want.
- Follow the Create Relationship wizard as prompted to create a simple relationship.
- Add information and data to the template.
- When you’re done, click the Close button in the window.
