What's new about the Database window

The Database window in Microsoft Access 2000 provides a variety of options for viewing and manipulating database objects.

• Use the Database window toolbar   Quickly find commands for creating, opening, or managing database objects.
  
  
• Use the Objects bar   View database objects in the Objects bar — its vertical orientation makes it easier to use.
  
  
• Organize database objects into groups   Click the Groups bar to view your groups, which can contain shortcuts to database objects of different types.
  
  
• Use new object shortcuts   In the Database window, quickly create a new database object by using a wizard, or open a new database object in design view.
  
  
• Customize how you select and open objects in the Database window   If you choose, change the default behavior so that you select a database object by resting the pointer over it, and open an object by single-clicking it.
  
  
• Select an object by typing its name   For example, select the Shippers table while viewing the list of table objects by typing Sh.
