Name Change Follow Throughs 1

[mordja]

Hi,

Ive been wondering for quite a while if there is something completely minute that Im missing. Why when you change an object name (query, table etc) or an object attribute (field etc) does the name change not follow through. Every time you change a name like in a query, you have to go and refresh the name in all other objects dependent on that query. It drives me mad. I am doing something wrong is or access fundamentally irritating ?

Hi

Depends on the version, in versions since A2000 there is a name change autocorrect feature (see tools \ options), do you have it turned on?

Even if you have, not sure it is reliable and it will not change names in code as far as I know, plus it has a performance hit

Kenreay,

You deserve a star, I have been living in ignorant frustration. Seems to work well. Wouldnt expect code updates.

Thanks !!
