Unable to open in any mode

Twice in the past few weeks I have had a form lock. I usually access the
form by dbl clicking in a list box, and the specific records are displayed.
Both times the form can no longer be opened. I can't even open it in design
or open from the databse window?? It is there in the list of forms, but it
is as if it doesn't exist.

If your application has code in it, try this decompile. Be sure to backup
before trying. If it works, it should allow you to open the form when done.
Then do a 'save as' to save it again. Then delete the bad one. Then compile
your code, compact, and see what happens.

Thanks Kelly - I'll have to go to option B (which I don't have just yet) I
tried to do the decompile, but my knowledge base is just too basic.....
