Can you export a form from a database
I have an updated form with tabs for multiple forms in a database on 1
pc, which I would like to use on the same database on another pc. I know you can export tables, but what about forms. Thanks

Thanks If there is no linkage between the 2 PC's, why not just copy the form and burn it to a CD, then transfer the CD to the 2nd PC and copy it into the new database? Remember to then un-check the Form's Read only Attribute. -- Fred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail

Can you export a form from a database
Yes I could do that if I knew how to get the form out of the existing
dbase. I know you can export tables, but can you export forms?

Can you export a form from a database
There's an undocumented SaveAsText method (and a corresponding LoadFromText
method) I talked about them in my February, 2005 "Access Answers" column in Pinnacle Publication's "Smart Access". You can download the column (and sample database) for free at http://www.accessmvp.com/DJSteele/SmartAccess.html -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Bob H" wrote in message ...
