<h1><a name="kanchor127"></a>Viewing Collections</h1>
<p>When you try to view a object which contains a collection in <span class="MCTextPopup"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="MCTextPopupSpot" onclick="FMCTextPopup( event, this ); return false;">OME<img style="border: none;margin-left: 5px;" src="../../SkinSupport/ExpandingClosed.gif" MadCap:altsrc="../../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif" class="MCExpandingIcon" onload="if ( typeof( FMCPreloadImage ) == 'function' ) { FMCPreloadImage( '../../SkinSupport/ExpandingOpen.gif' ); }" /></a><span class="MCTextPopupBody" style="display: none; ">Object Manager, a tool to view and edit a db4o database</span></span>, you cannot descend into the collection-items. Instead you see only the collection-type. </p>
<p>
<img src="ome_collections_without_assembly.PNG" />
</p>
<p>To descend into the collection-members, OME needs the original classes. Therefore you need to specify where the assembly for this class is.</p>
<p>Go to "Tools" -> "Object Manager Enterprise" -> "Options" menu and select "Assembly
Search Path...". Add the path to the assembly, containing the type definition.
Now disconnect and reconnect the database and browse the objects again:</p>
<p>After that, the collections-members a visible.</p>
