Access Forms disappeared

[pml]

Hello.

I've been programming with Microsoft Access for more than 10 years now.
Today it happened to me that, when testing the functionality of a form it
had taken me about 6 hours to build (over a table with 65 fields), this form
and 2 others simply disappeared! No errors, no complaints. They simply
vanished from the database forms viewer. The tables and queries related to
them are ok, but the forms disappeared.
My first attempt was to enable the hidden objects view, but they still
didn't appear. Afterwards I tried to import the objects to a blank database
but they don't show also.
Curiously, if I look at the MSysObjects table, it has the records of these
objects, but nothing more...

Does anyone know what might have happened? Can it be that I was working with
too much data for a single form?

Hi pml,
have you tried the SaveAsText and LoadFromText methods.
They are not documented, but any search on the dicsussion groups will give
you the code.
