In Access 2007, the Navigation Pane has replaced the Database Window as the main way to get around in a database. This demo shows you how you can use the Navigation Pane to organize the objects in a database into categories and groups. Categories help you arrange the items in the Navigation Pane, and groups are used to filter the categorized items.

This demo also shows you how to begin working with the built-in categories and groups, as well as how to manage custom categories and groups. Watch the demo to get acquainted with the Navigation Pane!

How to do it (text version):

• Use the Navigation Pane to quickly view and access objects
• Create and manage custom categories and groups in the Navigation Pane
