I was editing a form, then ran my program in develop. mode.
The program crashed and I had to reboot under Win 2000 pro.
When I return to that particular form in my project and try to modify it,
nothing happens. I can't access the form, all others work OK.

I checked under the project info and the code page for this form is
set to none all other screen forms are 1252. I tried to click update native
code pages but nothing works.

Anyone know how to regain access to this form??

Thanks
Linda
 
Linda,

Forms are just tables with different extensions (SCX/SCT). It sounds like the crash has corrupted your table. If you have access to one of the many database repair utilities try running the utility against your SCX file. In all probability that will repair the corruption and allow you to pick up where you left off.
