Cannot rename objects in Access 2003

[Guest]

I have an Access application that I recently moved to Access 2003. I had a
report called "rptAvery5160" and needed to replace it with a new version.
When I brought the new version in, it was auto-named "rptAvery51601". I
deleted the old one, but cannot rename the new one from rptAvery51601 >
rptAvery5160.

I do not have autocorrect turned on. I have decompiled.

I need to rename a report and cannot rename. When I right-click and select
rename, I get no message at all - the object is just not renamed. when I
copy and paste and try to rename w/ rptAvery5160 the message is "Name
conflicts with existing module, project or library".

Any ideas?

Here is a left-field question - did you delete the old report first or rename
it?

good question! and I cannot say with certainty which I did. My hunch is
that I deleted it, but the behavior suggests I renamed it.
