How Do I Rename a Query in Access?

Published in Database Management 1 min read

You can rename a query in Access by following these simple steps:

  1. Open the Access database containing the query you want to rename.
  2. Navigate to the "Queries" pane in the Navigation Pane.
  3. Right-click on the query you want to rename.
  4. Select "Rename" from the context menu.
  5. Type the new name for your query and press Enter.

Example:

Let's say you have a query named "CustomerData" and you want to rename it to "CustomerDetails". You would follow the steps above, right-click on "CustomerData", select "Rename", type "CustomerDetails", and press Enter. The query will now be named "CustomerDetails".

Note:

  • Ensure the new name is unique and does not conflict with any existing object names in the database.
  • Renaming a query will not affect the underlying data or the results it returns.
  • You can also rename queries using the "Design View" by clicking on the query and then modifying the name in the "Properties" pane.
