changing the name of the back-end database after splitting

I accidentally named my backend database the same as my front-end database.
I would like to change it, but I dont know where to do that. Is that
possible? I tried just renaming it, but it didnt find it. THanks.

So you have two files, both named MyStuff.mdb (or some other name,
I'm guessing)? If so they must be in different directories. Can you
not simply open the folder containing the backend database and rename
it back to MyStuff_BE.mdb?

I guess it's not totally obligatory to have the databases have
different names - but I'd certainly find it confusing if they didn't!
