Error when changing template in Access

Question

When I was changing the template for the assignment at school into "Inventory" it showed these errors when switching to a new template. Do you know how to solve these?

Answer 1

So, what you are doing is re-creating an accdb from the template? We don't often hear the term "switching" applied to doing that. We usually call that "instantiating an accdb" from the template.

I was able to instantiate the accdb from the old inventory template, so I think it must be okay itself. From the look of it, it must have been an Access accdb from 2007; at least that is the look of the design to me.

Can you instantiate the Northwind Developer Edition Template? It was created last year and has a much more useful inventory design, if I say so myself.

Answer 2

By opening a new template in Access

Answer 3

Can you tell us how you are “switching” templates. Typically you start by opening a template.
