I have some forms and reports that I would like to rename, either to bring
them into line with naming conventions or to be more descriptive as to what
they are and do.
Is there a way to automatically make the changes to any/all references of
the renamed form or report? Some code that might update all references
automatically to the
new object name?
 
I would suggest you investigate a third party find & replace tool for this.
There are two good ones - Moshannan's Speed Ferret or Rick Fisher's Find and
Replace. These are tools that will go through your entire mdb (forms,
collections, objects, VBA) to find and log occurences of particular strings.
Both utilities have a replace option that expedites making global changes
(useful for renaming objects).

Speed Ferret is available at http://www.moshannon.com/index.html

Find and Replace is available at http://www.rickworld.com/

Both are good products, Speed Ferret is more expensive but IMO has a fuller
set of features and much faster. Find and Replace is inexpensive and a bit
slower in operation on a large mdb. Both are downloadable and available in
demo or trial versions.
