I would like to be able to change the name of the data base, but it doesn't appear that I can do that.

You can. Rename the file and also change the Project Name in VBA (Menu: Tools - YourProjectName Properties).

I think this suggestion needs clarification. You should specify exactly which OCXs/DLLs you mean.

We ran into the very same problem with images no longer displaying on the report. For us the problem started already after less than 10 images were displayed! - We were able to build a workaround for the problem by creating small thumbnails of the images at runtime before displaying them in the report.

Access Applications that show multiple forms, each containing several subforms, side by side run into out-of-memory-errors very quickly. This is a completely reproducible issue. Currently the only mitigation is to limit the number of open forms. To reliably prevent the issue a max limit of no more than 5(!) forms may be required.

@Nick76: SaveAsText/LoadFromText usually do work across different versions. Old Access versions (pre 2007) used to be picky about the Version and Checksum properties in the file.
In general, low version to higher version should work, high version to lower version might fail due to new features used in the object that are not supported in the earlier version.
If your problems persist, I suggest you post to any QA-Forum to get this sorted. This is not the place for support discussions.
