[AccessD] Renaming SQL Tables

Karen,

This is a quick little function I use:

Function dbo_Remover() As Integer
    ' Use this module remove the linked table start name dbo_
    Dim db As Database
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim c As Long
    c = 0
    Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).Databases(0)
    dbo_Remover = False
    db.TableDefs.Refresh
    For i = 0 To db.TableDefs.Count - 1
        If (Left(db.TableDefs(i).Name, 10) = "NIOSH\get3_") Then
            'MsgBox "found " & db.TableDefs(i).Name
            db.TableDefs(i).Name = Mid(db.TableDefs(i).Name, 11)
            c = c + 1
            'MsgBox "new name = " & db.TableDefs(i).Name
        End If
    Next i
    Set db = Nothing
    MsgBox "NIOSH\get3_ Removed From " & c & " Filenames....."
End Function

I just linked to about 150 SQL tables; of course all are prefaced with
NIOSH\get3_ I want to strip off the prefix.  Does anybody have that code?  I
know I have seen it somewhere.
