Importing forms with same name

[Ecapodieci via AccessMonster.com]

I have a form that i have modified and i need to import it into 46 other
databases. This form already exists with the same name as the new one and
when i import it, the name changes to rptCPRJCT1. This throws off all my code
because they are looking for rptCPRJCT.

Is there a way to have the imported form replace the existing one that has
the same name as opposed to adding a 1 to the end of it. I dont really want
to go in and delete the existing and rename the newly imported one.

Why not?

I suggest you rename the old form you wish to replace first, perhaps
to rptCPRJCTOLD, then import the new form.

"Why not?"

Because i have to do it 46 times.

The easiest way is to just export it to each database and say yes when it
asks if i want to replace the existing one.

thanks.
