Hello,

I recently upgraded to Access 2007 from Access 2003. I am working with
Access Data Projects in order to connect to a SQL Server database.

I like certain things like the Search Bar but I really miss my groups. I've
been unable to recreate them because in the Navigation Options window both
the Add Item and Add Group buttons are greyed out.

Does anyone know how to make these options available?

Thanks,
Susan

Have you found the solution for this yet? I have the same issue and all of
Microsofts documentation that I have found thus far indicates these should be
modifiable in ADPs.

Thanks

I think we both have the problem that "Add Item" and "Add Group" buttons are
greyed out so we can't use them...

Thanks for your help anyway!

It seems like every time I upgrade I am unable to do something I could do
before. Once in a while I get lucky and find the thing I need is still
possible, only hard to find and much more difficult. : )
