Chances are that the error message indicates the database is partially
corrupt - especially if you cannot rename it to anything at all. If it
really is only one name that you cannot use, then press Ctrl+G to open the
immediate window, and choose References from the Tools menu. This will show
you the installed libraries. More information on libraries:

While you are in the Immediate Windows, you will see another item on the
Tools menu that says "xxxx Properties" where "xxxx" represents the name of
your project. You must avoid that name also, or use the menu item to rename
the project.
If that does not solve the problem these steps may help you work around the
corruption.
1. Select the report in the database window, copy (Ctrl+C) and paste
(Ctrl+V) with the new name. If that succeeds, you can delete the old one.
2. Turn off the Name AutoCorrect check boxes under Tools | Options |
General, and then compact the database: Tools | Options | Database
Utilities. For more information on these problems see:
