Changing a forms name

years ago when starting my Access Program I allowed my main form the use the
default name "Table1". I didn't know then how many other things I would be
refering back to that form. Now I find new users getting confused.

Question: I know MS will allow me to change the name and MS will try to
change all references, but I know for experience that does always work. Can
I assign an alias?

Guess what my main "table" is called?

You can create a query with the appropriate name, and Access will use the
query rather than the table.

What I really trying to achive is how my desktop toolbar displays that form.
Now it is "Table1:Form"
I have long since corrected other forms, queries, tables. But thoses two I
used for a year before adding Tables, Forms, and Queries.

What I am doing is going back thought my program and tweaking all the little
things I have been meaning to get around to. The program runs so well, these
little errors just bug me.

Thanks for your help in advance

Look at the Caption property of the form.
