    If the tables were created in Access then Windows does not see them. They are only inside your mdb/accdb file.

    Open your application (accdb?) while holding down a <SHIFT> key and see if that helps.

    I've found a navigation form.

    I can see one database that I created it comes under my main db, but there should be many more

    Did you keep the <SHIFT> key down until the system was completely open? Is your system in English?
