Northwind Database

rdonovan1 · 02-05-2009, 08:58 AM

I was just wondering if anyone might happen to know as to how a person can create a business database similar to the Northwind database that comes with Microsoft Access.

Currently I am using Microsoft Office 2003 Professional and at the moment I am trying to start several business and in my opinion I believe that Access and all of the other programs in Office are going to be critical to the success or failure of my businesses that I am trying to start.

If anyone might happen to have some ideas relating to this matter, then I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know.

Your best bet would be to get a good book about how to use Access and start playing around with the program with help from the built-in help and the book. Or you can pay a consultant to create a turnkey solution for you that you can just start using without spending any time learning how to create the actual application. It is not clear from your question whether you are leaning towards one solution over the other.
