At the top of the navigation pane, there's a dropdown menu that allows us to change the configuration of the window. That'll reveal all the objects in my database once again. To get rid of the filter, click on this icon over here to clear the search string. And you can see I have a number of tables, queries, forms, and reports that all have that word. For instance, if I do a search for the word customer, Access will reveal all of the items that have the word customer in their name.

At the very top, I have a search box that allows me to quickly find specific objects. This keeps everything nice and clean on the screen. When I'm done working with those, I can collapse it and move on to tables, for example.

Then when I want to work on my forms, I can expand that section, and there are my forms. If you click the up arrow, it'll collapse the header and collapse all of the objects within it. Each of these headers has an up and down arrow to the right side of it. Then I have forms, and if I scroll down, I'll see some report objects. Then I have queries, and all of the queries. You'll see, I have a header for tables, and there is all my tables. Right now the navigation pane is in its default configuration where all of the objects are grouped together based on their type. So I'm going to click here and get this double-headed arrow, and then I can drag to make it wider. Now it starts out a little bit too narrow for my tastes. So you can see what the navigation pane looks like when it's chock-full of content. I've gone ahead and pulled up a copy of the Red30 Tech database that has a number of objects already created. And it also allows you to filter and search through those objects to get to the one that you're looking for quickly. It displays all of the objects, the tables, queries, forms, and reports that make up the database's structure. The navigation pane on the left side of the Access interface serves as the table of contents for your database.
