Open a sample database or project

On the Help menu, point to Sample Databases, and then click the database or project that you want to open.
If the database or project isn't currently installed, click Yes to install it now.

Notes

If you don't see a list of samples when you point to Sample Databases, you can install them by double-clicking Add or Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel and running Office 2003 Setup.
If you are logged on to a computer where you do not have administrator permissions, the sample files will be read-only. This is because the user account does not have permissions to edit files. Copy the sample files to a location where you have permissions to edit, and then try opening the files from the new location.
