Access 2013: New Objects Not Showing in the Navigation Pane

Running Access 2013 [32-bit] on Windows 8.1 [62-bit], why do I have to run "Compact/Repair" before I can see a new or "Saved As" object (like a table or query) immediately in the Navigation Pane? Is there a setting I can tweak to change this?

Did you try to repair the Office installation ?

Hmmmmmmm...nope, haven't tried that yet. Kinda leaving that for the last resort but you're saying just uninstall and reinstall?

You can refresh the collections with code

    Dim db As DAO.Database
    Set db = CurrentDb()
    db.QueryDefs.Refresh
    db.TableDefs.Refresh

Open in new window

Thanks to everyone for all of their suggestions. I went back in this morning and was alerted to updates that were being integrated during startup. I then initiated Access and it is now showing new and renamed copies of objects in the Navigation window immediately after saving them WITHOUT having to compact and repair. I suspect the pending updates were causing the anomaly when I tried doing the same thing on Thursday. I don't like the way Windows 8 is handling system updates (at least the way it is currently set up) and I'm going to do a little tweaking in that regard next.

I chose Eirman's solution because it gave me information I hadn't seen before that related to my issue and I plan on adding it to my "bag of tricks" for future reference.

Thanks again all!
