DB-window shortcuts and groups: in VBA?

[jasmith4]

In Access 2003 and other versions the main Database Window's left-side pane has a list of Objects (Tables, Queries, etc.), and of Groups, where you find Favorites. You can create groups and add to them shortcuts to the objects.

Are these shortcuts and groups at alll accessible via VBA? I've searched the Object Browser, even displaying the hidden stuff, and all I've been able to find is that CurrentDB() has a Boolean property called HasCustomGroups, which becomes True when you create a group.

I've written code to dump to a text file every property in CurrentDB(), in each of its containers, and in each document in every container. I've searched that file and also everywhere in all the system tables, and no names of groups or shortcuts are anywhere.

Why are database-window groups and shortcuts so well-hidden?

A lot of database properties only exist after you create them -- either through the interface, or in VBA.
You gave an example of an interface-created one; here is a link to checking for properties and, if required, creating them. It may not be quite what you need but might get you started.
