Transferring Forms

[Guest]

I have created a form, we'll call Form A. I have created form A inside of
Database A. I want to transfer my form into Database B. Database B has all
the same fields that DAtabase A has but it doesn't seem to let me do this. Is
there any way to get a form from one database to another? Any help would be
greatly appreicated.

Did you try File --> Export ?

First select the form then do File --> Export

It should ask you for the mdb file you want to export it to.

File... Export from within Database A, or File... Get External Data... Import
from within database B.

But databases don't have fields. Tables (objects within databases) have
fields! Are you talking about two different .mdb files, containers, databases?
or about two different (identically structured) *tables* within a database? In
either case... why do you have the same kind of data stored in two different
places? It's very likely bad design!
