    Crew…

    Came back to work today after a month on disability; & the office IT guy had replaced my old version of Access (2000) w/ the new version (2007, as part of our office upgrading to Office 2007).

    With my old version…[our community architectural database resides on our central server (our F drive)]; & when our office members who need access to the database double-clicked on a desktop shortcut…up popped Access w/ a prompt dialog type window asking what view the user needs. We would select Tables > & then the appropriate database; & the table would load correctly.

    Now…w/ Access 2007…the shortcut brings up a blank screen w/ a Navigation bar at the left. To get to the database itself, one needs to open that navigation bar & go to Tables; & then open the particular database table.

    So…what I need to do is…now that I have the Tables up…I would like that old style window to come up, w/ the last viewed database (in Table view) to be highlighted (or…some reasonable facsimile…so as to make Tables the default view as a selection…to be able to go right into the table of choice.

    is this possible ??? (hope I made sense out of this inquiry)

    Thanks,

    mark4man

      There are several utilities and add-ins that provide a “classic” database window in Access 2007, such as Access Extra and DBC2007, but you might want to give the new interface a bit more time – perhaps you’ll get to like it eventually.
