Office 2007 Key Filtering the Navigation Pane

In an earlier post,Purchase Windows 7, I showed the Navigation Pane, which shows all of the objects in the current database. The Nav Pane works great,Office 2010 Professional Plus, is easy to expand and collapse sections, and so on, but the list can still get long enough to be hard to find things quickly. So, we've added the ability to filter it. Here's how it works.First,Microsoft Office Pro 2007, the filtering UI is turned off by default (since it takes up space and is only useful for some large databases). If you'd like to use it, go to the Navigation Options dialog by right-clicking in the header of the pane and selecting "Navigation Options":Then turn on "Show Search Bar".(Click image to enlarge)This inserts a filter control at the top of the Nav Pane:Typing in the control essentially does a *.* contains filter and filters the contents of the pane as you type:Quick, simple,Office 2007 Key, and super useful! OK,Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus, that really is the last post before I disappear for a week... <div
