Access Closes when Copying

[HalcyonDaze]

So here's a weird one. I have a report, and I wanted to build a form that looks similar. So I open the Report in Design View, Select All, and Copy. Immediately upon clicking copy (or using Ctrl+C, makes no difference) Access Closes. No Save, No Confirmation, No Error Message, Do not Pass Go Do Not Collect $200.

I think it might have something to do with the number of elements in the report, since I can copy a few at a time, but if I select all and deselect a few (or just drag to highlight a majority) it bombs.

I can get around it by copying it over in pieces, but any thoughts as to the cause of this?

Is it a busy form?
What version are you using?
have done a compact and repair?
Have you tried Save As?
Normally reports ar based on data not forms and contents

In order:
Not sure what a "Busy Form" is...
MS Access 2007 (12.0.6423.1000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6529.5000)
No, Should I? What is it?
Save As works fine, I can Save. But the Copy sequence still sends a Close Command for some reason.
Yes, the Report is based on Data from tables via a Query. It also has quite a bit of formatting (Letterhead, gridline formatting, etc). I would like the Form to resemble the report and be a localized place to do the data entry, as the data in the report is pulling from multiple Tables.

It isn't sending a Close Command. It is crashing. So, don't do it that way. If you must copy then copy little bits at a time. That's just the way it goes.

Ya, thats what Im doing. Normally though when it crashes it gives some sort of message, even if its just the Error Report Send bit after the fact, but Im getting none of that this time around.
