    Error message refers to a form that does not exist

    I receive the following error message when I open a database: (see attachment).
    The original table name was changed and a new form designed that functions fine. I can find no trace of the form mentioned in the error message. I thought I had deleted any old forms when I made the change. This table is linked to another database and the error form is not located there either.
    The macro referred to does not show up anywhere that I can find.
    After I acknowledge the error message the database works fine.


    Suggestions anyone?

    Could this be an old subForm?

    To me it looks like you have replaced a sub form with another.

    Think about this.

    A Sub Form is a Control on another Form.

    You may have changed the Source but have not changed the Control Name.

    Look at the Properties of you Sub Forms within the main form.

    Also don't use Macros in 2003. Wait for 2010.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
