In Northwind Access 2013 Desktop Product Inventory database template the relationships button is grayed out and I can not view the relationships tables or get into design view. What do I have to do to get it to work? I am using Windows 2007 Enterprise w/ Office 2013
A family of Microsoft relational database management systems designed for ease of use.

Thanks for responding so quickly. The tables have globes in the middle of the icon. My question is can or how do I convert to desktop and not web based so I can work with the relationships. Or where can I download a desktop based Northwind 2013 Desktop Product inventory database.
Hmm, let me see if I can locate a link to get a non-web one.
I downloaded from Microsoft Templates online 2010 Desktop Product Inventory like you suggested I do and it is also web based. Is it that I am downloading the template from Microsofts web site or is the Desktop Product Inventory on a CD with the software.
Not so easy to convert, so let's try this first... Look for the Northwind Database in version 2010.
Sounds like that is a Web Database. What do the little TAble icons look like, squares or globes? Globes means web which means no Relationships.
