Form class module for non-existent form - how remove?
Hi, After copying a form with a class module, something went wrong. I now have a class module for the new form, but the form no longer exists. I am unable to remove the in-limbo class module. I want to use that name for my form, which is not possible as long as that class module is in the way. How do I get rid of the in-limbo class module? I've tried repairing tha DB as well as "msaccess /decompile" but it hasn't helped. Anything else? Thanks, Kjell

Kjell, A class module is not part of a form, but a separate module. It sounds like your 'in-limbo' module is in reality a class module. Go to the modules tab in the database window. Find the module and rename it by selecting it and typing in the new name - for example ModA. Go back to the forms tab and create the form you want.

Thanks, but that's not it. The VBA editor lists the module under the form modules folder and its name is like "Form_..." and it is NOT listed in the Modules folder of the DB window. The module IS (at least was) part of a form that I copied under a new name to create new similar form. I think the first symptom that something went wrong was that when I clicked the ... button next to the event property name of one of the events, with code allready attached, Access said something about no guide existing for this operation. Then the code win opened like everything was ok, but it opened a different form's code window. Not even the one I copied from, but a TOTALLY different form. Then, I can't open the code of the copy (the copied form, not the original). It says there's a network error or some such. Not able to find the "file". I can delete the copy (the form) and create a new blank form with the same name, but when I try to attach code, it starts over again. When I delete the form, the class module is still listed under the forms folder in the VBA editor. This seems to have happened to other people too, because I found a few forum Q:s on the web. One reply suggested the /decompile switch (undocumented), but it didn't help. I've now gone back to a backup and copied the form "manually" instead. I.e. creating a new form from scratch. A lot more work, but no bugs roaring ugly faces at me. Still, I'd like to see how I could repair this when it happens. It's bound to happen again, because I often copy forms.

I have encountered the same thing (i think). I treated it as a symptom of possible database corruption. I created a new, blank database and imported all objects into it. The offending form module entry did not survive the trip, presumably because there was no corresponding form. -- HTH, George "Kjell Rilbe" <kjell.no@spam.rilbe.se> wrote in message news:O3f$yEyZIHA.5768@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Thanks, but that's not it.

George, Interesting! Did you do this in some kind of automated manner? Something smoother than copy+paste for each item?

What do you mean by copying "a form with a class module"? Do you mean you copy the form's class module (not the Access Class module) code's into the VBA editor with copy and paste? You must use the database window objects(Forms). Copy the form and wizard will prompt you for a new name. This will also copy the form's class module's code.

That's what I did. But something went wrong and the connection between the form and the associated class module is somehow broken. In fact, it seems like the code didn't get copied at all, only a reference to "it" (where "it" is void, which it shouldn't be).

That's odd. The only thing that I can come up is your PC hardware issue (your RAM) or there might be another software running in the background.

I am wondering why GP has Dummy window with title "~internal~" for the Command forms. For example Command_Financial form has Dummy window Do I need to create Dummy window for my Command forms. If so why I need it. Any comments appreciated!!! Hi Mandeep, The Dummy window is there as a placeholder. It really doesn't do anything, but should be there in order for the form to work properly since your form needs to be open for the commands to be available. The title ~internal~ just prevents this window from showing up in the Security assignment windows. Make sure that...

Form class module for non-existent form
Hi, After copying a form with a class module, something went wrong. I now have a class module for the new form, but the form no longer exists. I am unable to remove the in-limbo class module. I want to use that name for my form, which is not possible as long as that class module is in the way. How do I get rid of the in-limbo class module? I've tried repairing tha DB as well as "msaccess /decompile" but it hasn't helped. Anything else? Thanks, Kjell Kjell, A class module is not part of a form, but a separate module. It sounds like your 'in-limbo' module is...

Run Macro only if certain form is open
I have programed a maco to open one of various forms depending on criteria on an open form. Is there a way to run a "follow up Macro" based on which form opens? In other words can I run a macro based on wheather a certain form is active? -- Thanks, Chuck Take a look at the RunMacro Method of the DoCmd object. You can have it as part of the OnLoad of the form in question. Chuck wrote: >I have programed a maco to open one of various forms depending on criteria on >an open form.

Modal form opens on startup
Evenin' - I hope this doesn't come across as stupid, but I'm almost completely unfamiliar with Access. A client of mine has an Access 2000 database containing some business information, and he'd like to have me import it into Quickbooks. The problem I have is that I cannot get to the information to export it from Access. When the file is opened, I get a (I presume) modal form, configured as a 'splash screen' type of thing. Has my client's logo, and the name of the fellow who wrote the Access app. Click that, and it closes, then opens another form for...
Outlook 2003 e-mail folders no longer exist after synching with ho
In the last three weeks I was forced by Microsoft to download the Outlook Connector. This worked for a small amount of time untill I noticed I was receiving "Blank e-mails" When I checked e-mail in the browser, all of the e-mail was still there. I have linked to hotmail e-mail accounts. This shouldn't have any impact with Outlook 2003. Today, 18 February 2010, I hit send/receive in Outlook 2003 and let it synch up with the hotmail account. To my dismay when I checked my inbox this evening, I found that the default inbox had been changed to the hotmail inbox. I...

Trying to delete form border, and it deletes all borders
I made a form with several individual areas that have borders. At the end I decided to try a border around the whole form. Now that I don't like it, I was trying to delete the form border, but it deletes all the borders in the form as well. How can I just delete the border around the form and not the rest of the individual borders? I'm actually on a different computer, because of the printing, will I be able to undo my way out of it maybe, or do I have to be on the computer where I made the form. One more question, will the form retain the undo feature for ever, or will it stop ...
