If you have one particular form that cannot be deleted, your database is
partially corrupt.
To rescue it:
1. Create a new (blank) database.
2. Uncheck the boxes under:
Tools | Options | General | Name AutoCorrect

3. Import everything from the old database except the form you don't want:
File | Get External | Import
4. Close Access. Make a backup copy of the file. Decompile the database by
entering something like this at the command prompt while Access is not
running. It is all one line, and include the quotes:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile
"c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb"
5. Open Access, and compact:
Tools | Database Utilities | Compact.
6. Open a code window.
Choose References from the Tools menu.
Uncheck any references you do not need.
For a list of the ones you typically need in your version of Access, see:

7. Still in the code window, choose Compile from the Debug menu.
Fix any errors, and repeat until it compiles okay.
At this point, you should have a database where the name-autocorrect errors
are gone, the indexes are repaired, inconsistencies between the text- and
compiled-versions of the code are fixed, and reference ambiguities are
resolved.
If it is still a problem, the next step would be to get Access to rebuild
the database for you. Follow the steps for the first symptom in this
