Allowing the user to change field names
How do I make one database that can be used by different groups so that
they can change either the field names in the database (maybe by using a form) or change the labels on the form and storing them in a table along side the real field names? -- Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com

If you've built an Access application that uses queries against tables, and forms, reports and code against queries and tables, changing even one fieldname will "hose" your system! Perhaps if you described the business need driving your proposed solution (let the users change field names), the 'group could offer alternative approaches...? -- Good luck Jeff Boyce Access MVP "James Fillmore via AccessMonster.com" wrote in message news:686053f759ed492ab24c2ffc6b04f0a3@AccessMonste r.com...
