I changed the name of an FM7 database file on my Mac hard drive. But when I open up various items, it still refers to the original name of the file as the database from which it is drawing records. Is this OK? Should I not change the name of a database file? Should I create a new file with a new name, instead? Am I headed for any trouble after what I've done?

vs. 7 uses the file name to create the first table but you can change the table name (or file name) anytime you wish and all tables recognize the change. It is only if other files are related that you'll have a problem. Or if another file references it in subscripts.

If you have any related files, Developer can change file name and change that file's reference throughout all your other file's scripts and calculations.

If you don't have Developer, you can manually fix the file name in the File References dialog for each file under File->Define->File References.
