Anna, if a deleted form is being displayed, you have a corruption in your
database.
To fix, it try this sequence:
1. Make a backup of your MDB file, so you get multiple chances to fix it.
2. Open it, and uncheck the boxes under:
Tools | Options | General | Name AutoCorrect
Explanation of why:

3. Compact the database to get rid of the Name AutoCorrect stuff:
Tools | Database Utilities | Compact
4. Close Access. Decompile by entering something like this at the command
prompt while Access is not running. It is all one line, and include the
quotes:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile
"c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb"
5. Open Access, and compact again.
6. Create a new blank database.
Uncheck the Name AutoCorrect boxes.
Import everything from your old database:
File | Get External | Import
7. Press Ctrl+G to open the Immediate Window.
8. Open a code window.
Choose References from the Tools menu.
Uncheck any references you do not need.
For a list of the ones you typically need in your version of Access, see:

9. Still in the code window, choose Compile from the Debug menu.
Fix any errors, and repeat until it compiles okay.
At this point, you should have a database where the name-autocorrect errors
are gone, the indexes are repaired, inconsistencies between the text- and
compiled-versions of the code are fixed, inconsistencies between the
AllForms collection and the forms in MSysObjects are gone, reference
ambiguities are resolved, and the code syntax is compilable.
