Are you talking about the Database window in Access 2000, as distinct from
the Nav Pane in A2007?
If so, I would encourage you to experiment with the Nav Pane first, and see
if you can adapt to it. Be sure to show the Search box. Show All Groups, and
view by Type.
If you still can't adapt, Avenius Gunter and some of the other German MVPs
have developed a db window for A2007:
