Forms, reports, queries, etc. missing in database window

Max
I am editting a database created in access 2003 by another programmer.
This person has left the company for which the database was created and
no documentation. So that I could work on this database at home, I
have converted this db to 2000 which is the version I have i have on my
computer.

The problem is that none of the forms, reports, queries are visible in
the database window. The ones that have code could be accessed by
going to the vba editor and viewing the object. However none of the
other objects are visible. Now i know they are in the project
somewhere because I can open the reports, etc while running the
program. however I cannot edit them because they are not in the db
window. furthermore some tables and queries seem to be hidden.

Now even before I converted the db to 2000, this problem was apparent.
I just figured i would be able to figure it out. but i have not been
successful so far.

anyone know how I can find all of the objects in this project and make
them available to edit?

Hi,

Unsure of the exact wording but have you tried going Tools > Options > Show
hidden Objects on the view tab?

This should then show all tables/forms/queries etc.

Hope this helps.

Hi all - I'm wondering if anyone has (or knows of) a tool that will allow me to search through VB code, tables, queries, reports, forms, and other objects, for references to all other types of objects. That's not really that clear, so here's an example: If I have a table named "table_i_would_like_to_delete_but_don't_know_if_any_object_is_using_it",

This is concerning Access 2000 and some pretty incomprehensible behavior OK, I hope someone can explain this to me.

I was working on a form to open another form to a specific record. I had just finished the form for a trial and closed it, the typical...

How can I send queries, reports, and perhaps forms for one database via email to a colleague who also has Access 2003 and the same database as the one I'm using to create these queries and reports? I'm using Access 2002, 2003, Windows XP and Yahoo email. How can I send these queries and reports without sending the entire database each time? Thank you for your assistance! Mark / SF Bay Area

Hi. I have an MDB that I have been working on using Access 2003. The db utilizes A2000 format. There are enough forms to require that when 'Forms' is selected from the list of Objects (in the Database Window) the scroll bar is displayed at the bottom. Here's the problem: If I open up a form and update it (and subsequently save and close the form), when I return to the list of forms the right side of the Database window "freezes". In...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
