Hi,
I need to change a field name in a table stored on a backend database that is used by various queries, forms, etc on the front end client via a linked table.
I can't work out how to change the name in the b/e without having to change all the individual references to it in the f/e.
I haveauto name correct turned on in both f/e and b/e but I guess these are not related to each other.
Any suggestions please?

Hi Stuart. You could use the Object Dependencies facilities to track down all objects which have a dependency on the linked table, then change all references to the old field name manually.
Since this is likely to be time-consuming and error-prone, do you really have to change the field name? You could always add a copy of the field to a query based on that linked table and alias that field in whatever way you want, then base whatever you need to feed with the new name on the aliased field. This would protect the integrity of all existing queries, forms etc in your current application.
If you really do want to change the field reference manually throughout right-click on the table and select Object Dependencies from the shortform menu. This will run for a short time and show you all queries, forms and reports that have a dependency on your linked table. You would then have to open these one by one, check their fields, and change the references yourself.

Hi folks,
I just discovered that I have a table with a bunch of text fields that

some of these fields -- despite the restriction. The restriction is

Hello all,
This is going to be a rather lengthy "question".
I have an Access 2k database, separated front end/back end. Front end
copies are on about 30 workstations and used frequently during the
work day. The backend has a table called CLIENTS with approximately
6000 client records. Changes to data in the table are made via a
frontend db Form which has CLIENTS as its record source.

Using Access 97 on WinXP
I have data in a DB2 table that I'm trying to get into an identical

I downloaded the temp database code from Tony Toews's site, and

Hi:
At the outset let me admit that I screwed up!
I have built a rather elaborate set of forms and sub forms starting with a client table,
and going down to PO and Line item. This works very well EXCEPT that when I started the
design I failed to consider that client records would be added to the client table in
random order. The table is indexed on client ID which is an auto number field, and as a
result the table is in random order,...
