Extra Tables?
I have recently experienced every time I create a new database in Access I see 5 new tables that are supposed to be hidden, I can open them, but I cannot delete them. Is this something new in Access or have I got a virus?
Thank you in advance!

I suspect I probably know what is going on, but without your confirmation of the names of those tables (and also, confirmation that they are the same tables every time), it would just be a guess.
- Bible_TechCopper ContributorWow thank you for your reply, George! How shall I deliver it or copy and paste or screen shot?
- George_HepworthSilver ContributorA screen shot will do. If I'm right (and there's always the chance I'm not) you are seeing the system tables which are in every accdb. They start out MSysxxxxx. However, I always prefer to work from concrete information when possible.
