left task pane
3. Click the one called Sample
4. You should see the Northwind 2007 template now in the middle of the
screen
5. Click on the icon, enter the name and location on the right task pane,
and then click the Download button
Or this:

2. On a Win XP machine with normal English install it is located here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Access
3. Double-click on the file, enter the name and location on the right task
pane on the Getting Started Screen, and then click the Create button
