DW overly sensitve: Changing form or field names

[Guest]

It seems that if I simply change a form name or names of any of the elements in a recordset, then my recordset will have a ! to the left of its name, and the server behavior will stop functioning. I have reproduced this a few times after many frustrating nights of seeing inserts/update behavior just stop working. Is this the case?

Can you explain the steps you are applying to get to this point?

One way to reproduce this is to use the Insert Wizard (or Update Wizard) and then verify things work. Then simply change the form name and the queries will for some reason stop functioning.

It could be that the wizard uses the form name to identify what it is
doing and to what, so if you changed the name of the form the code that
uses that form will no longer work.

When you get an exclamation mark next to an extension just opening it
up, reselecting the correct form, and then closing it again will fix it.
