Renaming Tables, Queries etc.

[BillBee]

I am having a problem at present which I cannot solve. I understand the principle of renaming the above of using the navigation pane and selecting the object but what is happening in my case is that when I select the specific table/query I wish to rename, the text is highlighted as per normal but the instant I move the cursor onto that cell that whole panel highlights in red and then reverts back to the original state of just the text in that panel (now highlighted). I do not know if this is related to the problem but I have a text box with the "code" =Count([tblEntries].[CageNo]). This was working perfectly okay but both this and the renaming appeared to happen about the same time. I have opened other Access files and the same re the renaming occurs. I have secure security running and do not think this could be the problem but anything is possible. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. :banghead:

Never seen that before. Sounds pretty.

Are you the only user connected to the database?

 

[BillBee]

Yes. Asked friend to email a copy of same file (different data) and same thing.

Try a repair on Office.

Have solved problem. When the file name is highlighted I have now pressed the delete button which removes the old name and leaves the cursor in place to retype new name. It is a little time since I have tried to do this and from memory I could put the cursor at the end of the word and use the backspace key to remove some ar all of the letters. Thanks

I have always been able to do it as you had expected up to A2010.
What version are you on?

Almost sounds like something funny with the mouse button.

Using Access 2010. Have tried different Mouse no difference. Wondered if I may need to delete MS Office and reload file.

Repair Install is one of the options for Office in Programs And Features in Control Panel.
