hidden objects in Access 2007

[Lizzie]

I completley agree with Karl about the help feature for the new Access 2007.
It has taken me over 2 hours to find how to unhide my tables from by previous
2003 database, and that is with thanks to Karl's post here. Maybe Microsoft
should invest some time in providing a matrix of 2003 vs 2007 features as
2007 is very very different to previous versions. When I say matrix I mean a
list of where everything that was in the old and where it has moved to now or
what has replaced it including the new paths. for eg Compact and Repair was
under the tools > database utilities menu in 2003 now in 2007 it is under the
window icon > Manage. I have seen and heard alot about the new fandangled
features of this new 2007 Access, but so far I have been frustrated just
finding where the 'what should be, and well known simple' features have gone
to. This extends to Excel 2007.

Hi Jeff,

While you're there, download the Access Ribbon Mapping Workbook:
http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?AssetID=AM101757761033&CTT=5&Origin=HA101666061033

I printed this Excel document at work, because I don't like reading on-line
Help for extended periods of time. I also like to mark pages, use a
highlighter, etc. This Ribbon Mapping Workbook has not been optimized for
printing. My copy was close to 200 pages, with many of them blank! In other
words, kind of useless in printed form.

Hi Tom,

Maybe someone should put this information in an Access database.
Hummm.....

Now wouldn't that be the cat's meow? Especially if it was only made
available in the .accdb file format! <smile>

Actually, I'd be quite happy if you could bring the printing issue to
someone's attention at Microsoft, and have them reformat this document, with
printing in mind.
