Why can't I just copy a form and edit the fields?

Hi,

This drives me crazy.  I have a new table and I like the form already done
for the other table, so I copy the form and rename it to match the tabel and
then go to design view and even though I try to delink the form from the old
table, Access 07 just blitely matches all changes back to the original form
so if I get the new form right, I have the old form wrong.

What do I do?

:)

Probably left the "Name Autocorrect" feature turned on.

Tools... Options... General. Uncheck "Track Name Autocorrect
Information". It's still buggy, even in 2007.

That didn't seem to work.  Thanks though.

Just a question from someone who has not tried Access 2007.

Is that form, a single form which is itself linked to a table/query?

Or is it an unbound form, with a subform on it linked to the
table/query?

Well, there goes that idea.

Sounds like something I will want to avoid.

Wish you luck - I wish it could be a solution.

Thanks Ron.  I actually have most of it working now.  Just don't ask me how
I did it.

I always get worried about those types of solutions.

If it fixed itself on some mysterious condition?  How easily will it
UN-Fix itself on some equally mysterious codition?

Not that I can do a whole lot about either of the mysterious
conditions.
