Help! Form won't open

[VeronicaCBurgess]

I have a form that opens automatically upon starting Access. It had been working fine but now it simply doesn't respond. No error message, nothing! The hourglass just turns back into an arrow. I can't even open it in design view. The form file is visible, but when I click on it, nothing happens.

Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

no promises, but have you tried "Repairing" the db?

Open the database while holding down the shift key....this will disable any startup options. Open the form in design view and take a look at the recordsource. It may have become corrupted or changed. Check any rowsources for any comboboxes/listboxes on the form for the same. These are typical culprits of the behavior you are explaining. Finally, if all seems well, check to make sure the data sources are actually correct...open the query/table the form is based off of and see what you get. It is possible any of this has become corrupted.

If you still have had no success, create a new database and import all objects from the old datase and test that....the database itself may be corrupt and this sometimes helps.

Good luck.

Thank you all, I will try importing all of the objects into a new db as I have exhausted all other means.
