I'm fairly new to MS Access, or should I say very green.

I'm very familiar with Excel but would like to conquer Access.

Are there any databases which would give a rudimentry start to an
accounts package which I can modify to suit my needs.  I have used
Visual Basic in the past and I feel the learning curve would feel less
steep if I had a good example to wrok from.

I have searched throuigh google and found some commercial software
with source code but haven't found any freely available examples.

Would be grateful for any steers.
