I'd live with it. skroll29.com has a free suite of V-Tools for Access that has an excellent find and replace, but at this point it's much too risky to do something like that.

I asked my boss one time if we should consider renaming the tables with the R&D on it, which is 14, spread over 70 databases and probably associated with many thousands of objects like queries, macros and vba code. She smiled and changed the subject before I asked again.

Oh how we pay for the misdemeanours of our youth :-) As I said, "who am I to judge?" The naming and Collation sequence crimes of my past haunted me until I changed jobs, now I'm haunted by the crimes of others :-D
