JC,

It doesn't work for me. I am using Access97 here at work and get the
following error:

"Error encountered at line 2.
This object was created with a newer version of |9 than you are
currently running."

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,
