Allen:

Thanks for the response. Here's some more data. We refreshed her
profile and it worked - once. The next time she tried to open it, back
to the same old problem. I managed to coax out an error msg: 2501 The
Open Form action was cancelled.

Additional responses interspersed.

I wondered about security, but she can open all the other forms in the
same db, and there's no special security set on the "stubborn" form.
Besides she has been using this application for months with no
problems.

References were my first idea, but they're OK. Also if I log into her
machine with my profile, I have no problem with the form.

There is code in the Open, Load, and Current - though for the life of
me I can't see how those lines of code could block the form from
opening. I guess I could try commenting it all out.

Can't open it via code, or from the database window in either form or
design view.

Not that I know of.

I hadn't thought of that, but figured since she's been using the app
for months with no issues, that the problem was elsewhere.
