[AccessD] IMPORT THE FORM

Yeah,

All worked fine John.  I didn't change anything.  Right as you put.  Used
the import routine from the IW and had the path set up the same as yours so
didn't have to change a thing. Once I had renamed my clsCtlCbo module it
compiled straight off and the form opened with an error.

Dont know what to do next but as the next drink will be my third and it is
getting late I wont be doing much more tonight except skulking and replying.

Cheers

Max

I need someone to verify that they successfully imported the form using this
methodology.  I did it 
myself, but that means nothing as we all know.

Thanks,
