You should not have to make a new connection. Just use the linked table
manager to find the new table and link to it. Access will add the schema
to the beginning of the name. Then in the properties of the form change
the table name in the Source field. Once you are sure everything works
you can unlink the old table. You can always just create some dummy
tables to test before you try the above. Linked tables definitions are
pretty static, I find I have to relink anytime there is a change in a
table.
