Title says it all. Google is not giving me any good leads, despite framing the search terms in a variety of ways. There must be some decent sample *.odb files out there! (Does not need to be "Northwind"-sized!) Thanks!

This question gets lots of views, so clearly there must be a felt need for the kind of sample db I asked about in the original question. One solitary answer. I keep looking myself from time to time, but have come up empty-handed.

Recently I found a useful set of Base tutorials by Jack Wallen on the TechRepublic site. I link to the final one, as it has links to previous entries in the series, and I can't find a better way of linking to them all.

Hope this is a help for others viewing this question, and I still live in hope that some good Northwind-like ;) sample(s) may appear some day.

Can this information and link possibly be added to Base helpfile or even the template folder?

@David, there are a set of tutorial databases by Robin Beaumont here. The thread here on Base documentation may also be of use.

@oweng - thanks for pulling these threads together. Providing more/better entry points for Base is very helpful!
