correct syntax for ALTER DATABASE MODIFY FILE

Hi All,
I get an error "Incorrect syntax near FILE" when I try to execute the
following
ALTER DATABASE MODIFY FILE (NAME = MasterDB, NEWNAME = CompanyDB)
What could be wrong with this and how can I fix it.
ThanksYou need to specify the desired database name. Try:
ALTER DATABASE CompanyDB
MODIFY FILE (NAME = 'MasterDB', NEWNAME = 'CompanyDB')
Hope this helps.
