Access doesn't update application name for compiling VB code!

[BruceUK]

Hi everyone,



I'm using Access 2003. I wanted to create a significantly modified version of an existing application so I copied the .mdb file to another name (e.g. Name1.mdb is copied to Name2.mdb). However, I've noticed a strange quirk. When I re-compile VBA code in the new Name2 application, the Compile menu option is still being displayed as "Compile Name1.mdb".

No harm seems to be done because of this, but it does seem weird. Is this a known "bug" in Access?

Should not be bug. There is a property for the project called Application Title. I suspect it was set in the original with the file name. Change it for the copy. I usually assign a name that does not include the mdb/accdb extension.

I don't think this is relevant. The Application Title only determines the title shown in the application window. Resetting it doesn't change the application name displayed in the Debug|Compile menu option when VBA code is to be re-compiled.

Any other thoughts?

Ooops, you're right. I jumped to a conclusion and didn't verify. However, this works. From the VBA editor Tools>Properties>type the Project Name you want.
