Rename a database

[Frank Situmorang]

Hello,

I have finished designing a database, if I rename it to be other name.
Example. Churchmember.mdb and now I change it to chruchmember_Union

Will it effect that any program can not work?

Thanks for any idea provided.

That depends...

If you split your database, you will need to relink the table using the
linked table manager (if you are renaming the back-end).

As a general rule however, you shouldn't experience any major problems.

Best way to know is to simply try it. Create a backup of the original db
and then change the name and then test out your db.
