Hi Everybody:

When I launch my Access database, I am immediately prompted with the following error:

The Form Name "Form Name" is misspelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist. If the invalid form name is in a macro, an Action Failed dialog box will display the macro name and the macro's arguments after you click ok..

As soon as I click OK, I am able to use my database without any problem. The Form this dialog box references has been deleted. I have also deleted all of the other objects I can think of that reference that particular form. However, I'm obviously missing a field property somewhere. Is there a way to quickly scan all of the database's objects and their subsequent properties to find this form reference? It has to be buried somewhere. Any other ideas on how to isolate it? Although the database appears to work fine once I click OK to this message, I would rather eliminate the error all together.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, in advance, for your help!

When I launch my Access database, I am immediately prompted with the following error:

Check your startup options. It sounds to me like the form is being called at the initial startup.
 
That's it! It was being called at Startup.

Thank you SO much!
