Easy way to change column names?

I have a large Access 2002 DB (mdb) with many linked tables pointing to
a vendor database. The vendor has released a new version, and the
column names in all the linked tables has changed.

There are many queries, reports, forms, and modules in this mdb that
refer to these linked tables. Is there an easy way to change the old
column names to the new names? Something like a global find and
replace?

TIA

There is an add-in called Find and Replace that should do what you want.
