how to save a database as a template.
RE: template
You are not able to do this as a standard option.
Simply create a database, and give it the name TEMPLATE.
Save it to the directory
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033
(this is different for different version of access).
To find where yours will be, do a file search for a name of any template you can see in Access
