I know this is very simple but I just can't remember. :banghead: The name tab on the top of one of my reports is different in design view from the shortcut name in the navigation panel.

Can someone tell me how to change the one in design view please.

That doesn't work for me. It simply changes the name in layout and report view. The design view tab name stays the same.

Rename it on the navigation pane

That just renames the shortcut. I want it so that the design view name matches the report view (from properties\caption) and the shortcut in the navigation pane

The tab at the top of the report in design view should always match the name of the object in the object pane. Please make sure you are looking at "All Access Objects" so you see the objects name, not just a short cut name.

If you see "Rename shortcut", you need to change to "All Access Objects", remove it from the group it was in, Rename, then put it back.

If you do not see "Rename" as the option you cannot rename it.
