I’m very new to using SharePoint. I have created a custom list that I use as a linked table in Access. As the access database pre-existed, i need the column names in my SharePoint List to match those that are in the Access Database, otherwise all my Reports & Queries etc will not work.

Is there a way to have a separate display name for the columns in my SharePoint List.

For example, the column names are currently like “Innov_Desc”, which isn’t User friendly. When the users are adding “New Items”, I need to display “Description” for example.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Derek
