Renaming forms

I have renamed a Form. The new, correct name appears in the menu/list of forms on the left, and on the tab at the top of the form when it is open in Design view. In Form view and Layout view, however, the tab at the top of the Form still shows the old name. How can I change this?

RE: Renaming forms

Hi Fiona,

this is very easy. In design view go to properties (double click in top left corner of the form) and go to the Format Tab and name it waht you like in the Caption. What you put in this caption is what you want it to show as for the user and will not affect its call up or query routing to it etc--so it can be diffenent from your behind the scenes name if you wish.

The caption is initially set by your initial name you gave it.

I hope my instruction is clear

Regards, Mark
