I had typed in my database and named it. Then I decided it was the wrong name.
I used a drop down box to select "Rename" and when I did that all of the
information disappeared from the database. I have tried searching everywhere
for
this database. It won't let me undo what I did. Can it be located? What
did I do
wrong?
 
That is strange.

What program were you using to rename the database? Windows Explorer? If so
what was the name before and after you renamed it?

If you were inside Access, were you at the database window or up in
something like File, Open on the menu? If you were at the database window,
you probably just renamed a table, form, report, or query. Renaming a table
breaks all the links to queries, forms and reports and you need to manually
fix each of them. Same thing with queries. Might be better to go with the
original name.
