Ms access invoice template free download for enterprises

hey everyone this is Richard Ross with accesslearningzone.com I just wanted to take a quick minute to let everyone know that the Northwind Traders 2.0 template has finally been released if you're not familiar with it Northwind Traders is a database that's been with access since the early days in fact the original 1.0 version was something that I personally myself used to learn a lot about access back in the day and back in the day was like 1994 or five Northwind plus a copy of the access Bible at the time that's how I learned access by reading that book and by tearing apart that database so if you want to learn more about what goes on under the hood in Access I mean a obviously you want to watch my videos but B get a copy of the Northwind Traders template now there are two versions of the template available there's a starter Edition for people who are just learning access and you want to see what features are available what access can do get a good idea for a starter access database and then there's a Developer Edition which has a lot more features in it has a lot of VBA code you can go through and again that's one of the ways that I personally learn how to program in VBA but was by looking at all the VBA in the Northwind database originally and the macros and all the tables and the forms and the relationships and all that stuff so how do you get a copy of either of these templates well when you start access up don't open a database just start the application you should see it right there there they are they just pop up right for me if they don't show up on this menu for you then either a you're running a version of access earlier than 2016 sorry it's 2016 and later so if you got 2013 or earlier it's time to upgrade guys I keep telling you that or B I have heard that uh through the the different forums that I follow that some of the foreign language versions don't show it so you might have to switch to English in order to see these if you don't see them you can also try clicking on more templates and then searching here for North Wind one word and see if it pops up and there it is for me there's the Legacy one there's the old one you want to try that one too the old one had a lot of I don't know what I would consider rookie mistakes in it like it's got spaces and the field names things like that and a lot of those types of things have been fixed in the new version so that's very good but pick whichever one you want to play with if you are a beginner if you're an absolute beginner if you're in my beginner lessons then I'd pick the starter edition if you're a developer if you've been using VBA for a while you might want to get the Developer Edition poke around through it just click on it all right there it is pick where you want it to go I'm gonna drop it on my desktop so I'll go to desktop and we'll just change this to nw1 hit okay hit create and this little thing will happen it's preparing the template it's downloading the components it's building everything for you the tables the queries all that stuff and then you get welcome to the Northwind starter Edition now these are not meant to be databases that you will use in a real life production setting I mean you could use them as a jump off point to start your database with but these are designed to kind of showcase accesses features they're not really for like running your business although these templates are a lot of other databases I've seen out there that are supposed to be for running businesses these are actually built by access professionals so you know they're built right they do have some videos I strongly recommend you watch their starter videos I'm not going to take the time now to go through a lot of the features in here because their videos already do a really good job of that so go watch the videos uh they promise it'll be well worth it and it is I've watched most of them so check them out they got a really nice help system online too all right but just click continue put your name in uh what am I the guru extraordinator who can't spell extraordinaire all right hit add me this is just this is just stored in your database this doesn't go anywhere right this database isn't connected to anything online they're just basically setting you up a user account and there you go now if you follow my classes at all I don't use the tab to interface we get the tabs across top I like the windows but you know whatever you like it's just a matter of style Preference they use the tabbed document interface and it's pretty cool you can click on the IDS over here open up individual records their forms are very well designed nice and clean good interface right there's lots of help throughout you can click on the little I button over there right that takes you to the web and opens up their help interface lots of stuff you can read in here right right good use of combo boxes and all kinds of there's a lot of good stuff in here I'm going to be going through some of the additional features in future videos they got nice groupings over here in the navigation Pane and again I personally think the navigation pane is for you the developer I never let my end users see this but it's a great tool for you guys and like I said before there's the starter version and there's here's a developer version I downloaded this one earlier too and you can see there's lots more stuff in here right additional groups and some some other like linked tables type stuff right and there's more VBA code in this one so again if you're still learning access or even if you're an experienced developer and you want to see what other professional developers put in their projects download these templates play with them uh check them out tear them apart learn from them in fact in in going through the developer one I myself already picked up one tip that I didn't know before it was just a different way of doing something I'm like wow that's really Nifty I'll be showing you what that is in a future video I'm going to include links down below to some other articles some release announcements their documentation a couple other videos that they've already made um so check all those resources out too if you want to learn more about this if you want to see me make more tutorials on how to use this and what features are in it post a comment down below let me know if enough you are interested I'll start tearing Northwind apart and we'll go through it together I want to give a special thanks to the entire Northwind 2 developer team and the team leader uh Tom van step out for giving me a sneak preview a few weeks ago before it was released don't tell anybody it's an MVP perk and like I said I I spent a ton of time back in the 90s tearing apart the original so this is a fantastic resource for all you guys who are just learning access or are working with access and want to see an example of a really well-built professional database so check it out download it and uh tell those guys that I sent you all right we'll see you next time live long and prosper my friends
