Access closes when i click on "forms"

[Joao]

Okay, here is an interesting problem:

I have a database I just created a couple of days ago in Access 2003.
Everything was working fine until now, but all of a sudden whenever I
click on the "forms" tab (no need to open any actual form, just click on
the tab), access just closes down. I tried compact and repair, but no
luck. I tried converting the database to access 97, and still no luck.
Any suggestions?

My problem goes a bit beyond yours. For me the form opens ok but it suddenly
closes Access Entirely if I click "Design Button" or even many times when I
click certain command button on the form. This too would be fine but in the
process of closing it does not save the last design changes to to the form.
And the last changes to the records to are lost. Some body please help

Try:
Create a new database, open it and then select import to import the
contents of your 'crashing' database into the new one. See if that
solves the problem.
Catch:
You must re-create any references you've made in VBA (if any) because
they aren't imported...
