Creating a form template in Access 2016

Question

Hello --

I am creating an Access 2016 database that will contain a series of queries and forms. The forms will all have the same fields. I would like to create a form template that I can modify once, and then apply that template to all forms.

How can this be done?

Thanks.

1. Open the database that you want to create the template form.
2. ‘File>Save As>Save Database As>Template’ then click the ‘Save As’ button.
3. Enter the name of the template, a description, and any other information you would like to provide. Access will display a message that the template has been created (and display its path), click 'OK'.

Then you will see the template created in ‘File>New>PERSONAL’.

Erin
