The Northwind sample database has been around a long time and has inspired many other sample solutions. A group of Access MVPs recently got together and decided to re-invigorate Northwind with their deep experience by creating the Northwind 2.0 Starter Edition. Not only did they improve its design and functionality, but they created a detailed step-by-step explanation of its components. The result is an in-depth learning tool for Access database design and development.
