In the Grouping Options section, click on a category on the left side of the dialog box to change
the category display order or to add groups to the right side of the dialog box. Click on the Object
Type category to disable viewing of certain Access objects (tables, queries, forms, reports, macros,
or modules).In the Display Options section, you can select the Show Hidden Objects, Show System Objects,
and Show Search Bar check boxes.Tip
It’s usually a good idea to hide the hidden and system objects, which you normally don’t want to modify.
(They’re hidden for a reason!)
The Search Bar (shown in Figure 31.4), on the other hand, is useful in the Navigation Pane when you have a lot
of objects and want to narrow the list to avoid excessive scrolling, so you should select the Show Search Bar
check box. For example, if you wanted to see the forms that had the word Customer in them, you’d type
Customer in the Search Bar to limit the tables shown in the Navigation Pane.
FIGURE 31.4The Search Bar appears at the top of the Navigation Pane.
In the Open Objects With section, select Single-Click or Double-Click to choose how you open a
database object. Double-Click is the default option and is most likely familiar to all your users.Ribbon and toolbar options
