Terry,
Is this what you have tried?
In the project manager, where the tables are listed, right click on the table...and choose "Include".
>>>
>>>I have a project with a utility database for lookup tables. I have included the database in the project, but the tables are still marked as excluded. Even though I select the tables and try to mark them as included, the circle with a line through it stays and they are excluded.
>>>
>>>Any idea why these tables persist in being excluded from the project? Or, how to get them to be included in the project?
