I went to bol and used what they said however i get an error.

My code
EXEC sp_rename 'allcaps.[FIELD1]','UCCID', 'FIELD1'

my error
Server: Msg 15249, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_rename, Line 75
Error: Explicit @itemtype 'FIELD1' is unrecognized (0).

Am I doing something wrong other then Who ever imported this table didn't import in header names.

EXEC sp_rename 'allcaps.[FIELD1]','UCCID', 'COLUMN'

the last parameter is the object type.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Thanks.

I did that but not sure it worked. It said it did but as I looking at the columns it's still FIELD1.

Do I need to close out of Analyer and get back in for iit to show?

Try a right click and refresh on the objects or run select top 10 * from tbl
