Using a form from an existing database in my redesign

I am currently working on a resign of a database. I was wondering if there
was some way for me to "Import" the forms from the current database into my
new one. I don't want to re-design the wheel here. the current form will
only require moderate mods. I have tried to import with various toolbar
options and have had no success. When I attempt to "Get external Data" I
get a pop-up box with input about "the search key was not found." or "name
conflicts with an existing module". Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!
 
File - Get External Data - Import is the method.

If you can't get the help you need in the newsgroup, I can help you for a
very reasonable fee.
Over 1000 Access users have come to me for help.
Need a month calendar or 7 day calendar? Contact me.
 
Another way is the click on the form and click the copy icon.

In the new database go to the forms window and paste - fill in the form name
when it prompts you.

These 1000 (if at all a real figure..) is only the result of
-- 4 years abusing the newsgroups.
-- 4 years blatantly advertising and job hunting.

You only care about making money, and you act as if the groups are your private hunting ground.
So why would ANYBODY ever trust a person like you and hire you?
