Creating Databases from Templates 793

6. Click the Create button.

Access briefly displays a progress bar, and then the new database opens, with the

Task List form displayed in Layout view.

Tip Below the form name is a toolbar with commands created by embedded macros.

These commands are an example of what makes this a database application rather

than a simple database. The topic of macros is beyond the scope of this book. For

information, search for macros in Access Help.

7. If the Navigation pane is closed, click the Shutter Bar Open button at the right
   end of its title bar to open it. Then if any of the groups are collapsed, click their
   chevrons to open them.
   The Navigation pane displays a custom Tasks Navigation category.

The custom category has custom Tasks, Contacts, and Supporting Objects groups.

Troubleshooting The appearance of buttons and groups on the ribbon changes depending

on the width of the program window. For information about changing the appearance of

the ribbon to match our screen images, see “Modifying the Display of the Ribbon” at the

beginning of this book.
