Hi all,

Access 2007 Front End / SQL Server Backend.

I have to change a few column names in my Tables. I am looking for an easy way to check all the places where this column name is used. In VBA modules i can search for its usage, but is there a way to search if the column is used in a form in one of its fields or if its used in a control?

At the moment the only way I know is to simple make the table column change and then used all the controls to see where I get errors.

darbid,
Haven't seen you for a while.

You could look in Form and report recordsources.
You could look in all query.sql

You could use the Object Dependencies in the Database Tools menu. This will show you where the table is used in forms, reports, queries etc.then it is just a matter of checking the record source.
