Microsoft Access:  Organize Objects in the Database Window

You can add objects of different types to a group, which consists of shortcuts to the database objects that belong to it. This is a great way to organize objects by category instead of by object type.

1. Click the Groups bar heading to display the current groups if none are visible.
2. Right-click on the Groups bar and choose New Group
3. Type an appropriate name for the group and click OK.
4. Drag the objects you want to create shortcuts to from the Database window to the Groups folder.
