I built my table and form playing around and learnng how to place the items in the proper place.I did what your not supposedd to do. I buit the Table and forgot to save it. Then I built my form the way I wanted it. I don't use the sales angle you have your classes onn. I deal with membersship in my Legion Post. So it a lot different than yours. However, because I didn"t save my basic Table, I am in one hell of a rut. I need to start all over again and take everything off that I have. I can't find any way of deleting the extra tables I have. What is the easiest way to get back to scratcj (day 1). I know what I did wrong and know how to start out, but I can't delete what I have one there. Right now I have about 12 tables I would like to get off access?
Can u get me started again or should I quit. Probably better than trying to delete it all. First I better tell you that I had so many problems with Microsofe in trying to get my 2010
Access dwnlaoded. US andf Germany must not be friendly with another. My Son was finally able to download Access that I paid for. I don't want to deal with Microsoft again, if I can help it. I was ready to give up the game and go on a trip and forget it. It's by far the worst company I ever dealt with. I'm in the store in U.S. and ask for support to download Access as My Account said I paid for it. So I push support and end up in support Germany and they say I cant download it because I didn't pay for it. I can't tell them to check my ccount because it's in the U.S. Real bad between U.S. and Germany. Can I get started over again or not? I need to clean all thse tables off of my machine and get a fresh start. Appreciate your help om this problem?

Phil, just leave that old Access file (ACCDB) alone and start a new one. Open Access, go to File > New Database and just create a blank, new database. Follow along with my lessons FIRST and build MY database... even though you don't need it. That's the BEST way to learn. Then, when you're all done with the lessons, go ahead and start YOUR database. It doesn't matter if you're building a database for sales, memberships, or making hot dogs. All Access databases are made up of the same moving parts... they're just assembled differently.
