Subject: Re: Renaming a database?
Could you try restoring the other db with another name and changing the connection string
in the app?
[JS] I could, but it would be a nuisance. The app is MS Access, so there isn’t just
one string to change.
Fortunately my database only takes about 30 minutes to load, so this wasn’t a huge
problem. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something.
