Howdy. Disclaimer: I'm a dangerously competent novice... I downloaded an
Access template from the MS web site, some kind of sales contact manager
template. I played with that for awhile, kind of customized it, learned a
few things and decided to branch out on my own design. I (thought) I deleted
all remnants of this template, but it doesn't look I did. The current
situation: I started from scratch and created my own database. At this point
I have NO queries and NO macros. (I keep repeating that to myself). In
order to launch my database I click on a shortcut icon for the database,
which lives on my desktop. Access starts to launch and then I get an error
message: "The form name 'Contacts' is misspelled or refers to a form that
doesn't exist." It goes on to state something about "If the invalid form is
a macro..." yada yada yada. The problem is is that the form name "Contacts"
is not part of my data base and was, in fact, part of the data base template
that I THOUGHT I deleted completely. I have looked through every nook and
cranny of my data base and have absolutely no "Contacts" designation
anywhere. Back to the dangerous novice issue: I would appreciate any insight
but we need to go beyond the obvious. This problem is a challenge for me and
I've spent, oh, five hours or so looking through everything to find any
reference to the word "Contacts". Something needs to be flushed out here.
Perhaps the problem IS obvious and I should find a life rather than spend
five hours in a fog. Thanks in advance to all the usual suspects. Best
regards from the island of Korcula.
