Although you can use the Navigation Pane in an Access web app opened in Access, you can only display, hide, sort, and search for database objects. When you create a new database, the category displayed by default is Tables and Related Views , and the group is All Tables.

For example, when you select Object Type , you see all the database objects grouped by the type of object. In addition, Access provides two more predefined categories based on when the objects were created or modified.

You can also filter by Today or All Dates. Locate objects that are modified on a specific date in descending order or in a date range. Each predefined category also includes a global group that contains all the objects in the database.

You may also see Macros , Modules , and custom groups if any are defined in the database.

Right-click the top of the Navigation Pane to display the shortcut menu, and then do the following:. To change the sort order, point to Sort By and then select a sorting option.
