You can rename a query in Access by following these simple steps:
- Open the Access database containing the query you want to rename.
- Navigate to the "Queries" pane in the Navigation Pane.
- Right-click on the query you want to rename.
- Select "Rename" from the context menu.
- 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.
