Making copies of objects in Access '07

I'm working on a database through a VPN connection and trying to make a copy
of a form. It errors out on me with a message saying something like 'there is
a name conflict'. Other times a get 'The search key was not found in any
records'. In earlier versions, this was simple. How can I make that work in
'07?

Depends on how you do it I guess. I tried copying a form and it gave me an
exact copy of the original with the "copy of" added in front of the name of
the form. Did you copy using ctrl-c and ctrl-v? That worked for me.

I did do it that as well as using command buttons. Still not working. The
only way I can do this is to create a totally new form and then copy/past all
the fields from the original to the new. Uggggg! Any ideas? I am connect
through a VPN, but have administrative rights.

Not sure if this helps, but I tried importing from one mdb file to another
and got the same issues and messages. Is there some sort of setting I need to
change in options?
