"Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object library" error

[templeowls]

Hi I'm having issues copying an existing form in my database. The form name is frm2020. When I copy it to paste a new one using the name "Copy of frm2020", I get the error "Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object library".

When I change the name to something completely original, I get the error "The search key was not found in any record"

Any ideas? Also, with this form that I'm looking to copy, it will not allow me to save changes I make to it. When it prompts me to save, pressing yes does nothing. Not sure if its related to this error message issue though

Copying a form and its associated code should not cause this issue.

If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.

But why do you need copy of form? Why does form have a year in its name?

If the form has any procedure or variable that begins with Public, you might get that error?
The 2nd error is more common with spreadsheet imports where a column name begins with a space, so no idea when form copying is the cause.

Whilst I doubt it will be the issue here, that error is often caused by having a procedure with the same name as a module. That confuses Access and throws an error.

That's what I was thinking but am probably wrong in thinking that if it was declared Private it shouldn't be an issue.

It is still an issue.
The attached example has a startup form with a form load event which calls a private sub test in a module also called test.
The error message is just the same as you get with a public sub or function
