    System tabledefs in Access

    I'm using:

    Code:
    ...
    Set dbsAddresses = CurrentDb
    'loop tablenames
          For Each tblLoop In dbsAddresses.TableDefs
          With tblLoop
             
            Combo4.AddItem (.Name)
           
          End With
       Next tblLoop
       'loop querynames
       For Each queLoop In dbsAddresses.QueryDefs
          With queLoop
             
            Combo4.AddItem (.Name)
           
          End With
       Next queLoop
    ...
    As a result in the Combobox I have the tablenames and the querynames including the following:

    MSysAccessObjects
    MSysAccessXML
    MSysACEs

    etc.
    I don't need them. How can I avoid displaying those names in the Combobox?

    Re: System tabledefs in Access

    You can execute a sql query to return the tables minus the system tables with a query like...


    vb Code:
    1. "SELECT MSysObjects.Name FROM MsysObjects WHERE (Left$([Name],1)<>'~') " & _
    2. "AND (Left$([Name],4) <> 'Msys') AND (MSysObjects.Type)=1 ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;"

    Or with your current code just check the .Name with an If Then Else code block.
    vb Code:
    1. If Left$(.Name, 1)<>'~') Left$(.Name, 4) <> 'Msys' Then
    2.     Combo4.AddItem (.Name)
    3. End If
