Hi,
I have this form with some code which works perfectly.
When I open it in design mode and try to change anything (change code or
change something to the position of an object) I get an errormessage
saying something like (I have to translate this):

Error in Microsoft Office Access
Close the program

and a question if I want to sent this to microsoft or not

What can cause this? and what to do?

thanks
 
First, always work on a copy of the database. Working on the original may
make it impossible for a repair service to fix it.

Decompile your database:

Download a copy of JetComp.exe:

Try backing up your forms as text with the undocumented SaveAsText
LoadFromText functions:

Also have a look at the Microsoft KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;209137

Then have a look at Tony Toews' Access Corruption FAQ at:

http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm

for some suggestions. Unfortunately, some corruption cannot be fixed - you
may need to create a new database, import what can be salvaged, and recreate
the rest.

Although it's a paid service, Peter Miller does an outstanding job of saving
corrupt databases. Try this URL:
