Cannot save design changes in table/report in Access 2007

Hi,

I have done this before, but suddenly I seem to be unable to save changes to
the design of forms and reports. Nobody else is accessing the database.

I can push save, but when I then click on close form/report I get the
messsage asking if I want to save before closing. If I then press yes, the
saving message disappears but the form/report is still open. If I want to
close it again, the same message pops up. The only way to get out is by
pressing don't save changes, but then the changes I made to the design were
not changed.

I have been able to make design changes before, does anyone know what might
have happened?
 
I have the same issue. I have tried the recovery sequence and it did not correct the problem. I have tried splitting the database and it did not correct the problem. I tried creating a new database and importing the forms and reports from the split database and nearly every item failed. If I create a new database with mock information, then I can save design changes to the report. My database has 12 reports and 16 forms... is there any way around recreating them all?

If you are still stuck, create a new database, create a form in it, and se
if it has the same problem

Have you verified there is no problem with references?

Did you try the SaveAsText/LoadFromText with any of the broken forms?
