My original post said:

I'd like to change the names of my DAPs. I've been naming
them using the Lizensky protocol or whatever it's called,
PgeXxxXxx, but my users can't make head or tail of them.
Will this cause chaos if I'm do it, as it has seemed to
when I have changed other objects in Access?

Someone replied I should use links or buttons. I don't
really know how to do that. Also, didn't mention (but
should have) that none of my users have Access, and they
get into the DAPs through Internet Explorer and the
company network
 
Hi,

Only the link to a data access page is stored in the database. As a result,
you will need to rename the file on disk and then fix the link inside of
your database to be able to work with it in Access.

In Access 2002:

1. Right-click on the page on the Pages tab in the database window and
select Properties.
2. Update the Path to the new location or name.

Renaming the name of the page in the database window only fixes the name
that Access recognizes for the page, not the file name itself.

Links or buttons would give your users an easy way, almost like a menu, to
navigate your pages. You can use another data access page to do this with
Insert | Hyperlink in design view of a page, or just create an HTML page
using the anchor tag:

<a href="LinkToPage.htm">

hope this helps!
