This article was previously published under Q114683 SUMMARY
When developing an application, you may want to create an object that is
hidden in the Database window. Hiding objects helps reduce the number of
objects available to users of your application, while still allowing them
to return to the Database window.
This article describes how to create an object that is hidden in the
Database window.
MORE INFORMATION
You can hide an object by causing Microsoft Access to treat the object as a
system object. Note that the Show System Objects option must be set to No
in the Options dialog box in order for this method to work.
To hide an object, preface the object name with "USYS" (without quotation
marks). For example, to hide the Employees table in the sample database
NWIND.MDB, change its name to USYSEmployees. Tables, queries, forms,
macros, reports, and modules can all be hidden in this manner.
