I need to copy a report to create a second report, and am looking to know how
to globally change formulas to a different table/query. The fields in the
two tables are identical, the data results are different.

Example of a Current formula:
=Sum(IIf([Customer Sat Results database]![The service or information you
received was appropriate and help]="Good",1,0))


New report formula would be:
=Sum(IIf([Internet Customer Sat Results database Query1]![The service or
information you received was appropriate and help]="Good",1,0))

there are about 96 formulas that need the table/query reference changed...

This may seem a bit off-topic, but let me start out asking about the
underlying tables ...

If, as I infer from your description, you have two tables with identical
fields, I have to ask "why?" It would be quite rare in a well-normalized
relational database to need "duplicate" tables.

If you'll describe what business need you are attempting to satisfy by using
two (?or more?!) identical tables, folks here may be able to offer alternate
suggestions that both take advantage of Access' strengths AND get your
original request satisfied.

Good luck!

I agree with Jeff's assessment but would also wonder why you even need to
have the table name in an expression in a control source of a text box. Table
names included in expressions would only be required if there are two or more
fields in the record source that are exactly the same.
