Hi Frank - et al.
Ah, you're right. Seems we need different icons for both, or a different
form of display. Somebody from the iTeam already suggested

 Tables
  +- Table 1
  .
  +- Table n
 Queries
  +- Query 1
  .
  +- Query m

but I am not sure I like this idea. The data to be displayed here is not
really tree-like by nature, and forcing it to be displayed as tree is
somewhat unusable, IMO. Perhaps a

  (*) Tables    ( ) Queries    ( ) Both
  +--------------------------------------------+
  | Table 1                                    |
  . ....                                       .
  | Table n                                    |
  . ....                                       .
  +--------------------------------------------+

  
My vote would be for the later approach. In this case then if the user selects the ()Both option I suppose the tables and queries are listred together - in sorted order perhaps? Of course wouldn't one then  still need seperate icons to differentiate them? Perhaps though I am missing a point here. Is there any difference now between a table, a view and a query in the context of the query designer?
