Unable to delete corrupt form

I tried to make a form with an active X data grid control on it. Now I
cannot delete the form, nor save it after deleting the control. The
biggest problem is since adding this form, I can no longer get to the
code window of any other form. I have tried compact and repair and
copying the entire database. I want to know if there is a way to maybe
open another database and write code to delete the form or to get to
the object list and delete the form?
 
How about creating a new database and then importing everything from the old
one *except* the problem form?

Hi Manonbar

Have you tried creating a new blank database and importing all of the objects,
except the 'bad' form?
