That is what I normally do - which is probably why it is nearly always much more work to code it than do it all manually. The copy / paste way is usually fast, even with many hundreds of controls it doesn't take more than a few minutes I find. The only other step is to ensure you copy the form code over as well to the new form. I usually rename the old form "frmMyForm_OLD" first, create a new form and save it "frmMyForm", copy the controls, copy the code, save and test. If the new form works as expected I then delete the old form entirely (of course I have an original one on an older backup version).

If rebuilding the form completely, why doesn't copying the controls to a new form and renaming the form suffice? >>>if you are forced to rebuild a huge form, try these steps:<<<<<<<<<< -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
