    Changing Database Title (Access 2013)


    I'm reusing a database from last year but having trouble changing the year on one part of it.

    Click image for larger version. 

Name:	access title trying to change.png 
Views:	17 
Size:	31.2 KB

    I would really appreciate any help on this as my frantic Googling has mostly lead to how-to's for Access 2007. That, and I'm really leery about messing anything up on this database as its a big project that needs to be ready to go in less than a week.

    Thanks so much!

    Perhaps you could tell us more about your application and why you need to change the "title".
    Many developers would advise that there is something missing in your design that requires such a basic change.
    Often, the date of the data involved would not be year specific/exclusive to the database. There may be date(fields) and you may even have a process to archive data based on date.

    Who created the current database? What is the reason for the next week deadline?

    Good luck and welcome to the forum.

    This is the form.caption property and you can easily change it in form design view. It will be OK to do so in Access 2013.
