I'm trying to determine what might have failed in a Z Search generated set of objects. I used the Z Search wizard to create the search interface and tabular report. They ran fine. I then renamed the data source (odbc) and both the Z Search generated objects. I made sure that the input form reflected the new report name. Now the input form will come up but when attempting to search I get a "Object Doesn't Exist" type error. I've also recreated the tabular report and it's input form with the Z Search interface, and of course they work. I think the problem is with the report as the original input form will sucessfully populate the recreated report. What's interesting is that a compare of the text in the original vs the new Z Search created report object show that they contain identical text. I've also used Z Search to creat a similar "record" format pair of objects that seem to endure any number of renamings, which is puzzling too. I think that there are some variables hidden away, properties, whatever, that I can't get to. This is probably pretty transparent to everyone, but it's a bit of a stumper for me. In general this is a useful experiment as it's obviously very important to know what effect name changes will have. The docs state something to the effect that it's not too wise to change names, but I've also seen that some name changes are propagated. So it would be great to know what the pattern is. Maybe it's as simple as "rename at your own risk". Thanks Michael Simcich AccessTools
