I have an old vb program (form) that I need to edit/update to work with new
hardware.  Is it possible to "open" a .frm in the vb editor within Access?  
Is there a conversion tool?  Migration tool?  All of the tools I have seen
are the other way around...

When I try to import a .frm I get the error message "The form class
contained in 'F:\locationdetails...' is not supported in VBE.  The file can't
be loaded".

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

No to all your questions, it can't be done.  The superficial resemblance
between Access and VB obscures the fact that they are very different.
