As of today this is only brainstorming, this list has not been tested. Trish, can you think of anything else? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 19:22, 9 December 2009 (CST)

* local laptop settings
** set [[A_Info table]]/[[Settings (CCMBD.mdb)]] to new location

* find/search through all '''VBA''' modules for the new name, the current name, possible equivalent unit name
** address all finds; note: just changing the find to the new name may lead to undesired results, make sure the change is the right thing to do.
* make sure that the location name is not relevant to any of the queries/[[CCMDB.accdb Data Integrity Checks]] ; I can't think of a nice way to automate this.  
** make sure that the location name is not mentioned in any of the queries; I can't think of a nice way to automate this.  
** [[:Category:Service/Location check]] might take care of this... if it was used consistently ;-)
*change the location in L_Settings
*get local collector to send, and make sure all arrived, incl. in output DBs
