Renaming logical file names

Is there a way to rename the logical file names? I'm not talking
specifically about the physical files, because those can be changed
during a restore, but the values immediately to the left of those in
Enterprise Manager such as DBName_Data and DBName_log. Enterprise
Manager lets me change them during a restore, but when I do it gives an
error. Any ideas?

ALTER DATABASE ... MODIFY FILE ...

See Books Online for the full syntax.

A few questions about the following code. How would I "wrap" this in a function, and do I need to? Also, how can I make the code smart enough to realize that when a file has 2 or more bad charcters in it, that the code needs to run until all bad characters are gone? For example, if a file has the name "<bad*mac\file" the program has to run 3 times to get all three bad chars out of the file name. The passes look like this:

Hopefully someone can help, I have a listview box where I display my desired files. I single click on the desired file to be renamed and I rename it with a new name. My problem arises when the new name gets displayed through refreshing of my loop and display function. The problem is that when, if I rename the last file entry, everything appears to display fine. If I rename a file above the last entry (bottom entry), two of the new file...

Hi Folks, I have been given a CD with approx 130 .xls files (bean-counters!) that I would like to import and merge to ONE table (tblTradeshow). The XL files are *similarly*, but not identically structured, and the first row does NOT contain field names. Some (actually most) of the column names *are* the same in all of the spreadsheets.

When renaming a form... looks like you should probably rename it in 2 places... the logical (Name) property of the form as well as the physical file name... (this could become confusing ). Is there an easy way to keep them both in synch ? Any reason not to that I am overlooking ?

I'm updating a legacy app with table naming that makes baby jesus cry. It's a bit of a spider web though... no telling when and where the tables will be called by name. So I wrote this for renaming tables (I guess it would work for queries also). It changes the table name, changes the table name, queries that refer to it, form and report control sources, combo and list box row sources etc. Anyone inspired enough to figure out how to make...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
