FORMS AND REPORTS Disappeared!

[sgtSortor]

Yesterday, I had a database that became corrupted, while one person was using it it appeared okay, when I got in it, it said "The form name "frmSignIn" is misspelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist". Well, I clicked on OK and low and behold, there were absolutely no forms or reports or modules left in the database. All of the tables and queries are there and the data seems fine (thank God!).

I compacted and repaired this database and it did nothing.

I then created a new database and tried importing the tables and queries imported fine, but it didn't show any forms or reports or modules to import.

HELP! I do have back-up copies of this database luckily, but that still doesn't help figure out what happened?

Corruption can do that. It sounds as if you don't have this split with frontends on each users machine This is important to do just for this exact reason. You got bit. I would suggest splitting and giving each user a copy of the frontend so you don't have this happen again.

Either
a: Some kind of rare unexplainable system glitch corrupted your db and zonked your objects or
b: Somebody acidentially deleted the objects.

For 'a' all you can do is back-up. For 'b' make sure you protect your stuff by doing .mde, etc
