Rob:

After posting my message, I continued trying to track the problem. I ended up doing part of what you said; I imported ALL objects (including the embedded spread***, DTPicker, and PBars). The compile finally worked. No errors reported. One thing I noticed was that the file size of the "new" front end MDB file was significantly less; the original was about 62 MB, the new one about 48 MB. After every design session, and sometimes during, I always compact/repair so it wasn't that I hadn't been compacting. I've been testing the general operations of the program and they seem to be OK. I triple-checked to make sure I had imported all objects, which I had.

Now I'm wondering if there's some benefit to occasionally importing a project into a blank database, especially if it's one that's been under continuing development and modification?

Thanks for your help!
Paul
