I want to rename the 'database file name'.
Can I just goto Windows Explorer to rename the .mdb file name? Or do I need
to rename inside Access 2003 IDE?
 
You can rename it through explorer, but and you knew there had to be a but...
depending on the db it could have implecations.

If it is the back-end to a split db, you'll need to relink your tables
It could also possibly break vba coding

But yes you can it.
