"Cascade" field and table name changes
Hi all,
Am working with AYS database, trying to take the ideas and re-work them to fit my own needs. Because of another software I will be using in conjunction with Access, I have to use different naming conventions, plus would like to use my own names for tables and fields. I know that in queries, forms, etc., that are already set up, Access will be looking for the original names. Is there any way that I can, not too painfully, "cascade" my field and table name changes? Thank you. -- Thanks! Dee

Rich Fisher's excellent Find and Replace is just the ticket.
http://www.rickworld.com/ If you register it (one of the best $37 I've ever spent), the cross-reference report can find what queries use which reports and forms. It's a good way to find orphans. -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two. Keith Bontrager - Bicycle Builder.
