Hi all!

I have some weird problem.
I have some form that appears as a login screen from function by using
autoexec macro. The problem is that this form does not appear in the
list of all forms in the Access itself. When I open the application
the form appears and I can use it but there is no way to find it in
the list of all forms to enter the design.
The only way to enter the design is run the app and than right click
the header of the form and choose design view.
The problem is that now I want to import this form to another file.
When I choose the Forms tab from the "Import objects" screen this form
still does not show up. There is no such form in the list of all forms
so I can't just drag and drop it there.

Anybody has a suggestion for solving it?

Thanks in advance,
Ilya

Sounds like the form is marked "hidden". Try opening the application to the
Database window, then selecting Windows, Unhide. If that doesn't work, you
might need to change the options to "Show Hidden Objects" (Tools, Options).

Jeff, hi!

You were absolutely right! Thanks a lot.
I didn't know that hidden objects exist in access databases and didn't
know about these options.
Thank you very much for your help!
