    Customizing Navigation Pane to Have Two (Or More) Queries Groups

    Greetings, I am using Access 2013. May I please request help customizing the Navigation Pane?
    The Navigation Pane is set to All Objects. There are four categories listed there:

    1. Tables
    2. Queries
    3. Forms
    4. Macros

    I am not 100% sure of the nomenclature. Are these four categories called Groups? I'll assume so.

    Anyway, I'd like to add another group, and move a few queries into this new category. I've read some documentation on how to do this, and watched a couple of how-to videos, but I'm not sure if I have to create another section just to have one additional group.

    So, may I please ask what would be the best way to add another group here? Also, is it possible to rename the Queries group, so I can have a Queries - Main and a


    Queries - Updates group? What's the procedure for that?

    Thank you! J. Danniel

    Those are Object Types.

    I don't think you can create another Object Type nor change their names.

    You can create your own categories and categories can have groups. Then set the Navigation Pane to display whichever category you want.

    Right click on the Navigation Pane header > Navigation Options.

    I've never bothered with any of this.

    You can do this by customising the navigation options, adding a group, then adding a Macro that leads to whatever you want to show.

    For example a button that opens a form or query would have a open form macro/function that runs once the button is pressed.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
