I tried to revise a form in the test environment, and when i exported the
form to production , we are getting this microsoft visual basic error
"error accessing form, network connection may have been lost", then the
visual basic codes popped up.
I added some new fields in the table, so i have to change the data entry
form nclude these new fields.
Need help thanks.
 
Are you using Access 2000 without SP3 installed by
chance? Is so read on.

I think you've been stung by a particularly nasty bug in
Access 2000. Sure sign is that dreaded "Network Connection
may have been lost.." message. Details about it can be
found here:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=304548

The corruption in your database may not be recoverable.
You might try importing everything into another database.
I believe this bug is fixed with Service Pack 3, but it
will not *fix* corruption already present. To avoid this
bug you absolutely, positively, have to compile your
database EVERY time you import something.

Also, (from MVP Dirk Goldgar) one other thing you might
try first is decompiling your database -- or rather, a
copy of it. Instructions for how to do this may be found
here:

http://www.mvps.org/access/bugs/bugs0008.htm

and here:

After applying Office 2000 sp3 you are going to need to salvage your
database modules (Standard, Forms/Reports) by saving them out to text
files. Example:

- Open Form/Report in design view and select menu option View > Code
- Select the menu option Edit > Select All (to select vba code)
- Select menu option Edit > Copy
- Paste in Notepad file
- Close VBA window to return to Form/Report
- Within the properties Window of Form/Report change the property "Has
Module" from "Yes" to "No"
(this will delete the code behind the object)
- Save your Form/Report
************* Repeat above steps for each Form/Report that has code
*****************
- For your Standard module just open and copy to text files

- Then import all your objects (within exception of your Modules) to a new
database file
- Copy the code from the above text files into new modules in your new
database
- For the Forms/Reports reverse the steps by opening their VBA modules and
pasting the code from the text files

*******************************
You can also try running decompile switch but the above methods are
normally your only shot..

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.

VB code back.
So far, the error is gone.

Excellent good to hear.
