If you are using Version 3, use the "Global Update" feature in
"Utilities."  Just choose Collection as the field to update, put in the
old collection name under "Current Value" and the correct name under
"New Value."  Be sure to back up date first.

Global updates are also possible under Version 2, but are a little more
complex.  Past Perfect support can walk you through the process.

Good luck.
