change one form causing change other

[Blue6688]

I have not done much work in later version of Access. Now I found if I change a design in one form and similar forms (names are different) which are linked to the same tables got changed as well without openning them up and making changes. Is this something new with Access 2003?

Thank you very much for help.

Changes

I have two or three forms which are linked to the same table. I used them for different purposes, one for view, one for add/edit. Forms look the similar with different names, I used save.as to make copy of them. Now if I change one of form, such as adding/deleting/moving around fields, the others got changed in similar fashion without even open them up.

It is comvenient in the sense that I don't have to change each of them. But it also causes problem now if I want these forms to look little different as I don't want them look exactly the same.

Thank you for your help.
