Rename in Access 2007 Navigation Pane

[ChristopherM]

Does anyone have a problem renaming tables, queries, etc in the Navigation Pane? The Pane is set to view by list. If I right-click on an object then click on Rename, the focus just moves to another object. If I use the shortcut menu key on the keyboard then type "m" for rename, the inside of the orange highlighted object turns blue briefly to show you can type in it, then immediately reverts to orange. I don't know if this is a problem with my PC (HP laptop running Vista) or with Access.

I just have Access 2007 open on my computer.

If I right click on the table or form that I wish to rename it appear in organge with the option to change the name on it. Although, none of the tables or form that I tried it on are open.

I was able to rename using this function without any problems.

I finally found a solution to this problem on a Microsoft website. Although right-clicking the mouse or using the shortcut menu key on the keyboard won't work, using F2 will!

Did you have "One Click Open" switched on? I had a similar problem when I had this option switched on.
