database -hiden tables.

[bach]

Hello.

I am trying to re-create a db system which used a backend database for some of the information. I have opened the backend db in access and there does not seem to be any information in this database when I know for a fact there is.

How do I go about viewing the tables etc in the database.

Bach.

If you are able to open the database, you can make the hidden tables visible by using Tools/Options and clicking on the show system and hidden tables. If you think there are still tables you can't "see", open the MSysObjects table and look at the table names.
