How to customize templates?

[BruceMalone]

Hello. I am new to Access and trying to build a database. I built one in excel but found that access is better suited. I am new with Access but was able to create a new simple database with table and form. I looked at the templates provided (contacts and northwind) and see it contains much more features that could be useful to me. I however do not know how to customize? I used the templates and deleted the fields from the table and forms but when using it gives me all kinds of issues. I also tried creating a new database and used the external database source to only import the objects I need but it doesnt work as intended either. Is there a simple guide or solution for me to customize these great templates to use for my own? Thanks in advance.

For example, in the contacts template I delete some fields from the contacts table that I dont need. But then when i go to the contact list form and try to do a search, it gives a message "Enter parameter value" E-mail address.

Since, your website is not only the face of your Volusion based enterprise but also a major force behind your success in the internet sphere, you must pay your utmost attention to its every detail from appearance to interaction to overall user experience. This is where custom template designing plays its part. Sell people what you want and how you want instead of the way templates want you to. In case your template based site has not been producing desired results for long enough then custom template design could be your savior.
