Hi,
I have Access 2000. Isn't there a way to rename a table and have that change traverse thru the rest of the database and update any queries, reports, etc that used the old table name?

It seems so straight-forward, but I can't figure it out. I didn't understand the help menu concerning "Automatically repair errors caused by renaming". Does that apply to what I'm trying to do?

Thanks for any insight you can offer.
 
Look on the web for SpeedFerret. It's not very expensive and I swear by it for what you want.

There is no built in way to do what it does, so if you have a lot of changes, it's cost-effective.

Thanks Jim,
I researched Speed Ferret and is does sound like just what I need. Now I just have to convince the boss to spend the $200...

Thanks again,
Donna
