HELP! Out of memory error, can't open form

[laavista]

I need help (I'm in panic mode!)

I'm using Access 2003, and have a "MainForm". (I've spent a lot of time
getting this form just the way I need it...) I added a command button to it
with some vba and now can no longer open it or open it in design view. I get
"out of memory" error. I've rebooted my PC. I've compacted & repaired the
database.

I've tried copying/pasting a copy of the form from a previous copy of the
database, but can't open any form I copy/paste, so this won't help. (I can't
even copy/paste a form from within the same database and open it.)

Your help would be GREATLY appreciated!

You may not have enough video resources. Several things to try:

1. Make a copy of the form and try to open that.
2. Delete and images on the form.
3. Try using Decompile on a COPY of the database:

4. Trying SaveAsText/LoadFromText
