so I have inherited an Access DB with different naming conventions applied to tables. It hurts my eyes, and I want to refactor. Code isn’t a problem, but what about SQL embedded in the queries?
Going to answer my own question crudely now, but can anyone come up with a better method?
You might want to check out Rick Fisher’s “Find and Replace” tool. I think it would do what you want. It does search and replace throughout Access’s objects: forms, reports, queries, etc. I liked it a lot when I used it several times quite a few years ago:

I think there used to be at least one other similar comprehensive search and replace tool for Access databases, don’t remember its name or know whether it’s still around.
