Module remains undeleted when deleting a form

Hi all,

I work with an BackEnd/FrontEnd designed Application. When I stat, I embed
several tables and import an number of forms and reports. A normal user than
works with it all an when he closes the application, forms and reports are
deleted, embeddings too. This works fine so far.

I do a lot of design work, especially on forms and reports and save those
changes by exporting the form to the backend (thus finally changing the forms
origin). Sometimes (seldom, but nevertheless stressing enormously) the
following happens: By closing the application the form gets deleted, but not
its module. Then I cannot work with the application anymore because each time
I do anything which needs any part of code (and nearly each action does) I
get the message, that the form in question is not available (overwriting it
by importing - the in the backend uninflicted form - from the backend again
doesn't work). So I create a new database, import everything I need and then
it works again.

How can this happen and is there another way of solving the problem. I
cannot find any way to delete the leftover module part on its own. Is there a
possibility to do that without having the actual form available.

Anyone knows anything about that problem ?

Hum, the standard process here is:


Each user receives a mde for the front end, this is placed on each machine
(like all other software you had for the last 20 years).


You then continue to work on the next great version of the software. When
you done, you link this is front end (FE) to the production back end. Create
a mde, and then distribute that mde to EACH desktop.

I can't imagine, or understand stand why you are importing forms and code?

You can read about splitting here:

Pay careful attention to the notes about creating a mde in he above...

For the most part, I not sure why you are having a problem, but you really
just need to create new FE as a mde, and not bother with the importing of
stuff. Just re-distribute a new mde, and install it like any other new
software upgrade....

To make updating snap, and no work, you can consider using Tony's free
