Thanks so much for the info. No, it won't be as bad as that. We both are
the developers, my colleague and I and there are only 2 scenarios: I added
buttons to her forms and created whole new forms myself. So in one case
it's to add the buttons and in the other case it's to import whole new
forms. But that where I was getting stumped. In the FILE pulldown, I can
only find export. But since you tell me it can be done, I went and looked
at the help again. Would this importing of forms function be through the
FILE GET EXTERNAL DATA IMPORT?

Also, I figured out today how the code works. There doesn't seem to be
modules as in Excel but fortunately, the code was easy enough to find in the
forms. I just copy/pasted while in the vb editor. Very kewl!

Thanks much! D

Well, if no changes are being made to the particular form, then you could
just delete the form when you get the new db, and then import yours.

however, if both of you are going to be modifying the same form,then you
got
a problem, and there really is no way to resolve that.

I suppose I would just import your form into the new front end when the
developer is done. You then bring up both forms in design mode, and then
cut
and past the buttons etc so they look the same. I guess you would also
have
to go dig up the code for those buttons also.

You could also get the developer to coordinate this with you. Have them
send
the latest update, and then agree that no changes will be made to that
particular form (and if changes do need to be made, then you send the
developer that form, and wait until they are done with that form).
