View Menu

[David Groover]

Yes, it was quicker just to redo the form. Now I back up not just at  
the beginning, but for EVERY step I am taking.

I think the way the DB handles the forms internally got corrupted with  
that DB. I used an emergency open formula to launch such crippled DBs.  
That opens the datasheet and no other formulas.

 From this I was able to try every way I could to open the damaged or  
missing form. So I doubt it was anything lingering in any formula.

Thanks though.
