Can't Rename Forms

[Mike Painter]

I've been trying to both rename and copy forms and am consistently getting
"Name conflicts with existing module, project or object library"

It does not matter what I name the thing, the message is the same.

I could not find a KB article.

Mike,

Just guessing here, but you might want to give it a shot; it looks like
there may be a lot of rubbish left behind from development, which
Compact and Repair hasn't managed to get rid of (I assume you have done
that, right?). Well, in that case there's a good chance you can get a
new, clean copy of your database by making a new one and importing all
objects from the old one.

HTH,
Nikos

I tried that with no luck and I may just start over.
There was little "development" in this thing anyway.
I threw something together for my own use and it was working quite well
until I got a *tiny little idea* and once implemented made me realize things
weren't quite Normal any more, then the problems started. Maybe Codd is
talking....

Mike,

What was your tiny little idea, just in case it gives someone a clue?

It was a relational issue. I was just tracking classes that individuals
took in my fire department and started using it for a small business.
I realized that it made more sense to track classes with people in them and
added a new table, then started changing things. I should have started from
scratch.

The first time I just imported everything and the problem followed.
The last try I imported tables, then queries, then modules with no error
message.
I did get the error message when I tried to import reports but it just
failed to import one and everything seems fine now.


Thanks.

I'm having the same problem, but the solution Mike used did not work for me.
It give me the "Name conflicting with existing module..." anytime I try to
import certain forms. It references a VB34.TMP file in the error message
preceding the "Name Conflicting" message.

Any ideas on what I can try?
