When you start Access without opening a recently used database or double-clicking a database file, the program opens to its startup screen. The startup screen displays a list of recent files and a set of thumbnails for templates on which you can base a variety of desktop databases or Access web apps (a type of database stored in the cloud). Access also provides an option for creating a blank desktop database or a custom (blank) web app.
Database templates such as the Task Management template provide a set of database objects you can build on
This topic provides details about how to create a blank desktop database, how to create a database from a template, how to import data to build a database, and how to delete a database object.
Tip: On the General page of the Access Options dialog box, you can set options for the default file format for a blank database and the default database folder.
