    Access Database (Change Table names etc.)

    Hello,

    I am editing an Access Database, which was programmed for me. I need to do some minor changes, however, I am only familiar with VBA not so much with access and sql.

    Is there a way through a hotkey to see the sql code, so I can edit it, or add lines?

    I would urge you to make lots of backups.

    WARNING: Change Table names is NOT a minor change.

    Test on a copy!

    Unless you have a very good reason, like you want to rebuild everything, I would avoid changing table names and fields names. If yu must, I would purchase dome of the developer tools that will help with this.

    What version of Access?

    In Access there is a query designer that is normally used to edit the SQL.

    Where is the SQL you want to change?
