Importing forms - Overriding an existing one

[Ethan]

I would post this question in the importing newsgroup, but
it seems to be down. I need to update some forms in a
database by importing modified versions. Since the forms
have the same name I would like them to automatically save
over the top of each other, but instead, the forms get
imported and a "1" is added to the end of the form name. I
then have to delete the old forms one by one and rename
the new ones by taking the "1" off the end.

I can't seem to find a setting that allows it to override
an existing form. Is this possible?

thank you

First of all, it is not a good idea to be importing
multiple objects into an Access.mdf file. It will
eventually crash.
Second, i hope that you have split your database to
contain the data in one file and the table son the other
and linked the tables. Or else if you import anything and
your database crashes, Bye bye data forever.

Split your database, give users access to the front end,
(the part that has no tables) and make changes to your
master and re-distribute it as needed.

definitely do the split. Thank You
