Can't close form after minor design changes

[Steve S]

Have one form (out of about 20) that sometimes causes 100% CPU usage after a
seemingly small design change. Can't close the form or switch out of design
view. Get the message something like "Can't perform this operation at this
time" The only way to kill access (2000) is via the Task Manager which shows
100% CPU usage and only access running.

The change can be something as minor as the as resizing a field or changing
some vba code.

when I open the app again the change that caused the problem seems to have
saved and the form operates normally.

Doesn't happen every time but enough to be very aggravating.

Any help is appreciated
