I can't get the following statement to work in changing a field name.

CurrentDb.Execute "ALTER TABLE PivotCalculation CHANGE Field1 Field2;"
I get run-time error 3293 i.e. Syntax error in ALTER TABLE statement.

Yup, CHANGE isn't valid in Access, if you want to change the column name you'll need to use tabledefs.

I tried this

CurrentDb.TableDefs("PivotCalculation").Fields("Field1").Name = "Field2"

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
