Try holding down the SHIFT key as you're opening the database; this
will prevent Access from trying to open the startup form.

Then open that form in design view and see if there in fact is an
incorrectly-sized control on it. It's possible that the form has
become corrupt; try Tools... Database Utilities... Compact and Repair
Database, or (if that doesn't help) delete the form, compact, and
recreate the form from scratch.
