Hey all,

I'm wondering if anyone has had this issue, I am trying make simple
changes to a form, IE - make a txt box larger, anything, and save it.
It won't save. I close the form and it asks me if I want to save
changes, I say yes, nothing gets saved.

Now the funny thing is that I was able to make changes and save them
on a subform.

I didn't create this db or tables forms, etc, so I'll try to answer
any questions as best I can. But any ideas why this would be
happening? I've tried copying the db, different locations, it's not an
admin thing, I've opened it in exclusive mode, nada, zero, zip.

Thanks

Sounds like this one form has become corrupted.

You can try the recovery steps suggested here:
http://allenbrowne.com/recover.html

If that doesn't work, follow through on the link to SaveAsText/LoadFromText,
and try that.

If that also fails, you will need to create a new blank database, and import
everything except the bad form. Then import it from a backup, or recreate it
from scratch.
 
Allen,

Thanks very much for the link. The compact and repair worked! I will
run it next time anything funny is happening!

Thanks again!
