Saving revised forms

I have a 2000 db, converted from Access97. I can revise
and preview converted forms but can not save changes. I
can create new forms, run, edit & save them. Upon exit,
get "do you want to save" message. A yes reply keeps the
form open and a no reply closes w/o saving. No one else
is in the database. I opened the Events property tab on
several forms and managed to make/save changes, but still
have problems with many forms. I can change/save tables
and queries. We have many forms in this db so the
prospect of rewriting is daunting. Any suggestions?
 
Hi Brandon,

What result do you get if you import ALL the objects into a new database
file?

Eric-

I get this message: "Name conflicts with existing
module, project or object library" for any report/form in
the existing db that will not import into the new db.
The reports that will import are the same ones that I can
edit and save the changes. I have tried compact and
repair.

thanks
Brandon
 
Hi Brandon,

Sounds like corrupted Form/Report or VBA Module of that Form/Report.

Try the following in the original database:

- Open the Form/Report in design view
- Select the menu option View > Code
- Select the menu option Edit > Select All
- Select the menu option Edit > Copy
- Paste the code into a NotePad file
- Close the VBA window
- Select the Form/Report properties (properties window)
- For the Property "Has Module" change it from Yes to No (deleting the code
behind Form/Report)
- Close and Save the Form/Report
Then try to see if you can import the Form/Report. If you can't then try
the following
- In the original database open any module (or press ALT+F11)
- Select the menu option View > Immediate Window
- In the Immediate Window type the following and press enter
Application.SaveAsText acForm, "name of your Form", "c:\myForm.txt"

- In the new database open the Immediate Window the same way and type the
following and press enter
Application.LoadFromText acForm, "name of your Form", "c:\myForm.txt"

NOTE: if it's a Report replace acForm with acReport

Once you get the Form/Report into the new database (good luck) open it in
design view and select the menu option View > Code. The code that you
pasted to the NotePad file, copy it from the NotePad file and the paste it
into the Form/Report module

If none of the above methods help get the Form/Report into the new database
then I would recommend that you perform a Google search for "Access",
"Database", and "Recovery".


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