Using Sample Databases and Forms ........................................................................

I created Events and Tasks databases from the new templates and imported the relevant tables and

forms from these databases into the sample database for this chapter, Outlook Export.accdb, and

then renamed the objects and controls with appropriate prefixes.

Microsoft has created several new database templates for Access 2007; one of them cre-

ates an Events database, and another creates the Tasks database. See the “Creating a

Database from a Template” sidebar for full details on how to locate a database template and create a

database from it.

Personally I prefer to maintain my calendar and task list in Outlook, because it has the richest

interface for working with appointments and tasks. However, if you want (or need) to maintain a

simple calendar or task list in Access, you might want to use these new sample databases, or

import objects from them, into your database. You can examine the forms I imported from the

sample databases by selecting them from the Forms section on the main menu of the Outlook

Export database, as shown in Figure 8.10 (the imported forms end with “List”).
