Custom view/favourites within a database

If we have a very large Database of Tables (40+) and Queries (hundreds) and I want to keep seperate the 5 or 6 tables and queries that I use most often so that they display at at the top of the list, is this possible? All I can see is the Custom view and it lists all unassigned objects, can I do something here to assign my favourites or something?

Thank you

RE: Custom view/favourites within a database

Hi Angie, thanks for your query. This isn't available out of the box in Access but you can hide and unhide objects in the navigation pane:

If you record two macros hiding and unhiding the objects you want, you'll effectively create your own custom view option in Access!

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
