What is the methodology for achieving this? I tried changing the Record
Source in Properties while in the Form Design View, but I don't know how to
save it into the file that holds the new database; therefore, when I try to
open the form, it tells me that it can't find the database to open the form.

Do you wish to take a form in Database A and copy it to Database B?
If so.
Open Database B. click on File + Get External data + Import.
Navigate to Database A.
Click on the Forms tab.
Select the form you want to import.
Click OK.

Now change the form's record source.
Done.
 
Thanks, Fred... it worked great. I appreciate the quick response.
