    Change to Form Closes Access

    When I try to save changes to an existing form, I get the pop up screen "MS Access has encountered a problem and needs to close". Even if I go into the design mode without making any changes and then go back to view mode, I get the same error message.



    This does not happen with any other form.

    Any idea what is goign on???

    Try importing everything into a new db. Then Compact and Repair. What version of Access are you using?

    Have you applied the Office 2003 Service Pack 3 and the HotFix that goes with it?

    Thanks RuralGuy! I am only a novice computer user. Had IT stop by. The service pack had been installed but not the Hotfix. He downloaded the patch into my computer and I am able to make changes and save those changes to my form. All is well!

    Again, thanks!
