I have a form that I spent many hours creating. The problem is that after a crash I can't open the form any longer not even in design view. It gives me an error message that says " You canceled the previous operation." Can I do anything to save this form. I have tried compacting and reapairing. I have tried coping the form. It tells me that the module is not found. Can anyone offer me some help!

Have you tried creating a new .mdb, and importing all the objects you need? This may or my not help, but it's worth a shot.
Do you have a backup copy of the database somewhere? From the sounds of it, you don't. This is a good practice, to make a backup copy on a regular basis. If you are making lots of design changes, and working with the database continually, then at least at the end of every day, if not twice a day. I realize this doesn't help you now, but a good practice none-the-less.
If I can think of anything else, will let you know.

Just wanted to tell you that you are not the only one who has had this problem. It happend to me yesterday. I got the exact same message, and I wan't able repair it.
If you have made a lot of code in the form you might be able to save this.
I managed to save all the code behind the form by opening the Code view and then selecting the form-module and exporting all the code to a file. Then I imported all the database objects into a new database except the fautly form. I then importet the form from an old backup and inserted the code from the exported file. [sig][/sig]
