Hello,
I'm getting an error when opening a new form I've been creating. This form
has a total of 25 text boxes, labels, lines, and check boxes. I've made many
other forms that were much more complicated.
I get the following error when trying to open the form or edit/design it.
ERROR:
The form name 'Form1' you entered in either the property sheet or a macro is
misspelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist.
Solution
If the invalid form name is in a macro, an Action Failed dialog box will
display the macro name and the macro's arguments after you click OK. Open
the Macro window, and enter the corrent form name.
I'm not using a macro or VBA code, i'm still designing this form so I'm
simply trying to complete my editing.
I have tried repairing the database with the Access Database Repair tool,
but that does not fix the form.
I have also tried importing the form into a new database, but I get a
different error.
Error: OLE Automation Error.
My form does not explicitly use any OLE.
I have also tried using my backup copy, my backup seems fine, I can save it
as another name, and then get into the form and continue to edit, but then
after a short time of editing I will try to save and it will give me an error
saying "...can't save changes..."
Thank you for you help.
