    Question Where's my Form gone??!!

    I'm new to Access so please bear with me. I've written an Access Database to store details of my Music. It's nothing fancy, it has a nice little form that I use to key in the details and it works well. At my Workplace, we use another Access Database to store Estimates that we provide to Customers. I did not write this! The Access DB is stored on a shared Server. I would like to make a very simple change to this System (ie, change the wording on the Form and also add some text to the PDF that is created when an Estimate is keyed into the Form and saved), however, I cannot even see the Form when I open the DB is MS Access! When I open the DB I see all the Tables but no Form. Am I being stupid?

    Any help would be most appreciated as it's driving me nuts and I've googled & googled...!



    Thanks!

    The DB you opened, the one on the server, sounds like the back end of a split database design. Back ends do not typically contain any forms, reports, queries, etc. If you want to edit a report, you need to find the front end file. These are typically stored on the individual client machines. There may be several FE files for one BE file. The FE "Links" to the tables on the BE.
