    VBA Wildcard

    I have an access table which needs to be renamed and uploaded to an access db every month. See below. I am able to rename the table but the last part (month) of the table changes every month. I there a way to rename this table using a wildcard? "Seizure lines thru *"

    Public Function Renametable() As Object

    Dim dbs As Database
    Set dbs = DBEngine.OpenDatabase("c:\seizures\nancy\nancy.mdb")
    Dim tdf As TableDef
    Set tdf = dbs.TableDefs("Seizure lines thru june")
    tdf.Name = "FY09 SASCOM"
    dbs.Close
    End Function

    Thanks..

    You should NEVER rename a table. None of the programs/queries will work.
    Copy an existing permenant name to your new name table.

    How would I copy it to a new table when the table name (month) changes every month? I know I can manually do it but I am trying to get away from that.
