PROBLEM

Could not rename a personal geodatabase workspace using IDataset.Rename

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Description

When renaming a workspace using IDataset.Rename, my application crashes.

Cause

This will happen if you create a workspace and delete it; then you create a new workspace and rename it to the name of the first workspace.

Solution or Workaround



If you are performing the sequence, create, rename, delete, create, and rename of a workspace, all within the same process, you must set the workspace to Nothing before you re-create it. This will keep the application from crashing.
