Change the insides of copied databases to head off confusion (2002/2003)
One of the things Access users like about database files is you can make a copy of the MDB just by using the Windows copy and paste functionality. However, besides giving the database a new name on the outside, you should take a moment to make the following internal changes as well:
1. Database Properties— Select File | Database Properties and click the Summary tab. Then change the Title and any other pertinent information.
2. Startup— Change the Application Title, Icon, and Startup information to values appropriate for the copy.
3. Project— Open the code window and select View | Project Explorer to open the project pane. Then, click the project name and change it to match the file name.
4. Cleanup— Remove any unnecessary objects to reduce clutter.
If you’re creating a copy of your database for backup purposes, it’s probably okay to leave these items alone. However, if you’re making a copy to reuse for a nother project or pass on to someone else, these are quick changes that will help both you and the recipient. |
