Hyun,

Try looking at the various sample and "collection" sample databases
provided with Office/Access.

You might be able to use or modify one of these (e.g., "Book Collection" to
get what you need.

If you installed them as part of your Offcie or Access installation, you
will find them on your hard drive under:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Databases\.....

Hope this helps!

Good Luck!

Bill
