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 ...

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.

Wow thank you for your reply, George! How shall I deliver it or copy and paste or screen shot?
- George_HepworthApr 01, 2022Silver 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.

- Bible_TechApr 04, 2022Copper ContributorYes that is what I am seeing. OK then , I have only recently seen these pop up. So you would think the default would be hidden from view so as not to distract the novice (me) from asking such questions. You cleared it up for me Thanks!
