Using Access linked tables to advantage

I wanted to show 53 weeks of the year using 53 Access tables for an In/Out board on our Intranet. As well as the week tables I have Employee, Department and Section lookup tables that I did'nt want to appear in the dropdown table list. I made a separate database with these lookup tables and linked them to the main database, they do not now show in the dropdown table list but still appear to work. This may be useful to someone. If anyone knows of a better way of excluding certain tables please let me know.
