Is there a way to substitute a field name in the entire database where ever it is used?
 
Is that same field in different tables of your database? Or found on different forms, reports, etc.?
 
It is in different tables, forms,reports etc...
 
Hi

Depending on version of Access, the Name Autocorrect (see tools \ options)feature may allow you to change name in objects, eg forms, table, querydefs, but if you have any VBA code which refers to the column name, you will have to amend that with search and replace.

I believe there are also third party products available to do this, but I have not used them
