    Organising Queries

    Hi



    I've got queries that do checks on the quality of the raw data
    I've got queries that prepare/convert data from raw data to data better suited for my spreadsheet

    I'd like to somehow have these grouped/displayed separately in the navigation pain

    I've seen https://support.office.com/en-ie/art...b-ed6c15484244

    I tried that out and what I don't like is it seems to only create lots of shortcuts and allow you to group the shortcuts (which I realise that article says) i.e. it doesn't allow you to group the actual objects.
    This was seen in how I went to change the name of one of the queries and that change in name wasn't recognised by the latter queries because really only the shortcut was renamed.

    So is there a way of having the actual queries in the navigation pane and organising the into groups?

    Thanks

    make a table for queries, tQueries.
    put the query name, subject, groups, etc.
    run them from a form.

    other option is to have a naming convention which will order the queries as required - then use a rowsource query for a list or combo box based on the msysObjects table. Something like

    Code:
    SELECT [Name], mid([Name],5) AS displayName
    FROM msysObjects
    WHERE [Name] Like 'qchk*" AND [Type]=5
    ORDER BY [Name]
