SYMPTOMS
When you try to change a control's Name property setting, the change is not accepted if you change only the case of the Name property setting. For example, if you change the setting "Text0" to "text0," the change will not be accepted.
CAUSE
Case-only changes are not accepted because the property is not case sensitive.
RESOLUTION
To change a control's Name property setting, you must change something other than just the case of the setting. Replace a character with another character, add a character, or delete a character. Then, change the setting again, changing it to the text you want.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access 1.x, 2.0, 7.0, and 97. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access 2000.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- Start Microsoft Access and open any database.
- Create a new, blank form.
- Add a text box to the form.
- Change the text box control's Name property from "Text0" to "text0" (in Microsoft Access 1.x and 2.0, change the Name property from "Field0" to "field0"), and then press ENTER. Note that the change is not accepted.
