We’ve inherited an MS Access db/application (Office 2002) with great names such as NewTable, Subform or Macro1. Unfortunately, when we change these to more meaningful names, the references (in other Queries, Forms or Actions) are not updated.
How can we find out where a specific object is used?
You can check the system tables, MSysObjects and MSysQueries for references to tables and queries (you can also check the sql string of querydefs). You can loop through the properties of forms and reports, and their controls, for references to tables, queries and macros. You can search code.
The Name Change auto-correct option is usually deprecated, but it may have a place here.
