Additional sample databases included with Access

This feature is available in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean language versions of Microsoft Office.

In addition to the Northwind sample database, the Northwind sample Access project, and the databases that you can create by using the Database Wizard, Microsoft Access includes three sample databases that you can use to start tracking your own information right away.

• Address Book application   Use this application to manage addresses and other information for individuals, families, and companies. With the database, you can save address and phone information for every member of a family, remind yourself when it's time to send birthday cards, print address labels, and export your address list to Microsoft Word.
• Contact Management application   Use this application to manage your personal and business contacts. With this database, you can save information on your personal and business contacts, record the time and subject of phone calls, send e-mail to any contact, set reminders, print labels or envelopes, and export your contact list to Word.
• Household Inventory application   Use this application to keep track of important possessions in your home. With this database, you can record serial numbers and purchase and replacement information; list items donated to charity for tax purposes; and import and export information from other applications.
