Renaming Objects in Access

Once you have a copy of an object, you'll probably want to rename it. There are a few ways to do so:

* Right-click the object in the Database window.
* Choose Rename from the resulting shortcut menu.
* Enter the new name.

Or you can rename the object right in the Database window:

* Slowly double-click the object in the Database window. When we say slowly, we mean to apply two single clicks, one right after the other, but not so quickly as to constitute a true double-click.
* Access will enter the object name in Edit mode--you can tell by the thin border that Access displays around the object's name.
* While in Edit mode, simply enter the new name and press Enter when you're done.
