Cannot import form

I have regularly imported forms and linked tables on my co-
worker's computers. Recently, I updated the commonly used
form; however, I cannot import it at all.

I right click in their forms list; set up the resulting
dialog box so that it is pointed at the new form;
hightlight the new form and then press OK. A little
hourglass appears for a second then goes away. BUT no
form is imported. What could I be doing wrong?

Many thanks for your help.

You may need to make sure that no one else is in the database and open the
user's database in 'exclusive mode' especially if this database isn't split.
If it is not split and you have multiple user's using this database, you
would get better performance and make it easier to make changes on a local
copy and the redistribute that updated copy to each user. In short, the
back-end( db with tables only) resides on a server type machine and the
front-end (db with linked tables from back-end, queries, forms etc.) reside
on each user's machine.

Access has a wizard that will split a database for you. However, before you
implement this split I would reference help for 'Splitting a database' or
visit Microsoft's Knowledge base and implement a search on your version of
Access and set the keyword or phrase to Splitting a Database.
