Nanette, You could make a library database that includes a template form and template report that each have their settings changed the way you want. You could also have different templates for different uses. This library database could also contain a standard module with any module procedures you repeatedly use, and queries, tables, macros, or pages as well. I don't believe that Access has a 'normal' template for forms and reports, in a way that's similar to what Word has.

I thought the help screens told me I could do this by changing the template in the System. mdw file but that didn't work. They make references to the My Workgroup Information file but don't tell you how to alter that file. If anyone has done this I would appreciate it. I'm so tired of making the exact same changes to every new form and report I create. I use Access XP and Access 2003.
