Is there a way to rename a table in Open Insight? I am running version 3.7.2.

Bruce-
In the database manager (Tools-Database Manager) in the file menu there is an option for renaming files.
If this doesn't work for you you can always do a Copy_Table ot the new name, deleting the old file.
Hope it Helps-

Thanks Mike, but after I renamed the table, I was not able to open the form associated with it. The form was trying to access the old table name and could not find it and would not leave the form open. Is there a way around this?

Bruce- or whoever-
Open the SYSREPOSWINS record in the system editor and save the form as its original name_BAK.
Re-open the original, change all occurrences of the original file name with the new one, and save it by pressing Control-S.
Re-open the form in the form designer- it should work.
If it doesn't open the _BAK version and save it as the Original one, and try again.
Good Luck-
