Greater granularity over Objects: grouping objects into folders

[Guest]

For example:
I have 81 query objects in one of my databases right now. Some of these
queries have something in common*. It would be useful to be able to group
query objects that have something in common into folders. This would provide
better management and organisation over the objects.

This should be applied to other object types - tables, forms, reports. I
appreciate you can sort by 'Type' but this doesn't offer the same level of
flexibility.

I am using Access 2K but I'm not aware of this being available in subsequent
versions.

*share functionality; are redundant;

You can group objects in a database using, erm, Groups!

yes, yes, but the two are exclusive.
What I'm really thinking of is a tree like structure in the main object
views. It's nice to have the 'Groups' because you can combine objects of
different types but the main object views themselves need the facility to
categories objects in folders. This way the schema becomes more easily
understandable at a glance in its functional aspect.

well then, I suppose a mda (or other kind of add-in) is what you're looking
for ;-)
"simple" table structure
a treeview control
Drag & Drop
one-key lookup (& or integrated with the IDE)

Looks as if you have commercial potential if you or anybody else'll do it
;-)
