In Access 2003 if you wanted to open your existing Forms and Queries you
clicked on the Forms button.

In Access 2007 this option seems to be missing. My question is how do I
access the Forms,Tables and queries. The only forms button I have found
creates new forms, I want to access my existing forms.

Many thanks for any advice.

Many thanks Brendan

I do not have that menu option within my Access 2007. I do not know how to
view that drop down menu option.

Regards

Ernie

It's not a menu, Ernie, it's the 'Navigation Pane'. Possibly it may be
hidden in your database. Here's a link to another screenshot I too to answer
a different question. Notice the option 'Display Navigation Pane' in the
Access Options dialog in the background of this screen shot. You get to the
Access Options dialog by clicking the round logo thingy in the upper left
corner of the Access window.

Hi Brendan

I did some digging around in the Access options. I noticed that under
Current Database the Display Form field had nothing in it. I filled the field
with "switchboard" then reopened the database. The view options were then on
the opening switchboard of the database.

So it was a different fix but many thanks for the help
