Access VBA References

[WillockBoy]

Has anyone else experienced the VBA References "dropdown" stating the old name of the Access accdb file as the "title" after the name of the file had been renamed? The appropriate References continue to be marked as active as before.

Is this simply an anomaly and does it matter?

So far the database seems to be functioning OK.

Just tried it and yes, it stays with the old name, but do not see an issue?

Many thanks for responding and thank you for the reassurance.

After some tests, it seems that the name that appears in the VBA References "dropdown" is the name of the VBA Project, not the database file name:

Makes sense

Many thanks for all of your thoughts, which are really helpful, reassuring and a further step in understanding more about Access.

The VBA project can be named anything you want. It defaults to the name of the Access database originally. To change it, you can right-click on it in the VBE and enter the name of your choice.

I prefer a modest name, usually.
