Bushair,

It seems that you are using version 5 or OpenERP.

If so, Go to the menu Administration/Security/Grant Access To Menus . Search your desired menu, change the name of that record.

If its version 6, Go to the menu Administration/Customization/User Interface/Menu Items and do the needful as per your need.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Bushair,

In OpenERP, you should normally work on modularity concept.

If you like to rename the menu, you should make a module which does it for you.

If you change anything from GUI; upgrading the module will fetch all view datas from xml files and hence all your changes will be gone.

Let me know if you need more help.

Go to the relevant module(account), find the menuitem and change the name.

Bushair,

Yes, you would need to change the name inside the xml file.
