Question : Access 2007 Navigation Pane Object Group Automation

Hi!

We are making good use of custom categories and groups in the navigation pane.  Is there a way via VBA or other method to direct the output of a make table query to a specific custom object group?

For example, we'd like the output of all make table queries to go to a custom group called "Output Tables", rather than them going into the "unassigned objects" group.

Thanks,

Ronda

According this Blog from Microsoft, it looks like many of the customization features are being made available with the 2010 release of MS Office.  There appears to be very little published code or methods for automating what shows up in the navigation pane.

Having said that, there are some developers who have published their customization routines for MS Access 2007.   The developer at this link is sharing some of what has done with MS Outlook using C++ and VB.Net.

This link has the most free published code on the ribbon interface.  You can try doing a search on the navigation pane and see what is available.
