Hi,

I have been working on the coding of a form all day, and all of a sudden none of the code behind my form works at all, and it now won't let me view the code in the code window. I tried going into the code window from another view and switching to this form but the form is no longer listed in the code window....I can't even add a new control and try to get into the code window that way......It appears as though access has crashed and somehow corrupted the code in this form....

Please help.......I am extremely upset about this.....
 
Open any code window and select compile and save all modules, the offending sections should be highlighted.
 
Forms often get corrupted although they look "good." Try copying the offending form to a new temporary form and see if that lets you see the code.
 
Tried both of these things....no good.

I moved it to a Office XP machine. Now I can at least get into the code window for my form, but there is no code in there at all. All of the buttons and on controls have the event procedures assigned, but all code has simply vanished.

I find this highly pathetic on Access's behalf. The database has corrupted itself and lost around 2 days of my work (around 2000 lines of code). What's worse is that I usually make backups of the db at least twice daily....but I didn't this time! I hate microsoft sometimes.
 
I am trying to export the form in which my code has been lost...I can't export it, even to a blank database. It keeps saying: "Name conflicts with existing module, project or object Library".
Any Ideas?
 
Don't think that this only happens to you. You probably could have regenerated you for ab initio by now.
