Choose Name Dialog Box

Enables you to change the system-assigned name of a new table before that table is created in the database.

Enter a name for the table

Displays the system-assigned name of the table. Type a new name for the table in the text box.  Although you can later use the Table property page to change the system-assigned name, it is best if you make any name changes now.  Changing the name of an existing database object is risky, because you can invalidate programs and queries that refer to that object by name.

OK

Creates the table with the name you specified. The table is created in the database when you save the table or diagram.

Cancel

Cancels the creation of the new table.

For more information about creating tables, see Adding a Table to a Database Diagram.
