Join nowI tried asking in chat session but couldn't seem to word my question in a way the tech could understand so I came here with hope for help. I created a restored copy for my CEO to experiment with, but the concern was that even though we renamed the new copy when you load the new copy in the top bar of the application it has the name of the 'main' database that I copied and not the new name.
My goal is to either change the name so when it is loaded it is clear which database you are working in so there is no chance to ruin the main database. Is this possible.
Thank you in advance for helping lost souls find there way in the QB universe.
