    Copy forms from one access file to another access file


    Good Morning

    My question is a simple one. Is there a way to copy forms and modules and such from one access file to another access file like in excel?

    Thank-you

    Chheco

    I'm not an Excel user. To copy a Form and module from database(accdb) A to database(accdb) B

    -open database B; external data Msaccess
    -identify database A
    -select object(s) to import
    -click OK

    Thank-you to both Orange and Ajax. I used Orange method and it worked perfectly.

    Now I have another question.

    How do I get the login form to be the first page that opens when the data base is opened?

    Thank-you
