Re: Ghost forms



I presume these forms do not show in the Database window in Access 97, and
that you have already tried checking the Hidden and System check boxes
under:
Tools | Options | View

If so, the mdb may be corrupt, or they might be marked for deletion (to be
removed from the database next backup.)

Since you know the names of these objects, you could try exporting them to a
text file:
SaveAsText acForm, "Form1", "C:\Form1.txt"
If that works, you could then import them into another database with:
LoadFromText acForm, "Form1", "C:\Form1.txt"
