Using DAO, CurrentDb().TableDefs("MyTable").Fields("MyOldField").Name =
"MyNewField" will rename field MyOldField in table MyTable to MyNewField.

I'm sure the same can be done using ADOX as well.

What if you're just using plain old ADO 2.7
that is, my connection string is

set cnn = server.createobject("ADODB.connection")
cnn.open "Data Source=" & server.Mappath("database.mdb") & ";Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"

thanks
