Changing project name

L

Laurel

About a week ago I posted a question about changing the
project name after you've renamed the *.mdb file. I got
two responses, which, together, still didn't address all
the places where the name appears.

In the Access environment, File/Database Properties/Title
will change the titlebar of the database window.

In the VB environment, Tools/<db name> Properties/Project
Name will change the name of this menu option, and might
change the name by which the mdb can be identified as a
Reference (haven't checked that yet).

But neither one will change the name that appears in the
title bar of Access itself. This will be confusing to my
end-users once I distribute my little app. Does anyone
know how to change this last remnant of the original name?

Is Tools/Options/ApplicationTitle what you are looking for?

I don't seem to have that exact Menu Item, either in the
Access or the VB environment. Are you sure you're not
mixing it up with one of the two similar menu items that I
talk about in my posting? I'm running Access 2000. If
there is really such a thing, which tabpage in
tools/options is it on?

My apologies. It is in Tools/Startup.

Bingo! That did it.
So there are three, count them, three places you need to
edit to get rid of the old mdb name when you rename it at
the Windows level... Go figure.
Thanks, much.
