Changing the database name on the Title Bar

Greetings. I use MS Access 97, I have a database called 'DB' and its
file name is called DB.mdb. I used the wizards to make it and I've
done some neat things in it. I made a copy of this database and
called it 'Craig'; it's file name is called Craig.mdb. I want to do
some major changes to the 'Craig' database, so I want nothing to do
with the 'DB' stuff that was used to make it. Now, while I am in the
'Craig' database, I notice in the title bar that the name 'DB' is
still there; it's to the left of the form name (caption) that I'm
currently in (i.e. DB - [Switchboard]). Not only that, but when I
press F11 to look at the database objects (tables, queries, reports,
etc.) in the 'Craig' database, the title bar shows this: DB - [Craig
: Database]. I would like it to show: Craig - [Craig : Database].
How do I change that from 'DB' to 'Craig'? I wish I could show a
picture of what I want to do, because seeing it makes a lot more
sense. If I did a poor job of explaining this, or if you would like
more information, I can do that. I appreciate any help that's
offered, and have a wonderful day.

Rick,
Thank you so much for the response. That did it perfectly. I was
hoping it would be something as simple as that. Thank you, and have
an awesome day!
