Modify or delete custom properties of an Access file
 
  1. With the Microsoft Access file (Microsoft Access file: An Access database or Access project file. An Access database stores database objects and data in an .mdb file. A project file doesn't contain data and is used to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server database.) open, click Database Properties on the File menu.
  2. Click the Custom tab.
  3. Click the name of the property you want to delete or modify in the Name column in the Properties box.
  4. To modify the property, enter the changes in the Type or Value boxes, and then click Modify.

    To delete the property, click Delete.

Note  If you try to modify the name of the property, it becomes a new property, and you can only add it. To modify the name of the property, delete the existing property and add it with the new name.
