Import form

I'm doing some development with someone outside our office. He sent me an
e-mail with a .frm and .frx attachment. I've been able to see the form in
the VBE (I had to import them.. in Project Explorer, it put it in 'Forms',
but not under Microsoft Office Access Class Objects with all my other forms
that I created ) but not in the forms window in Access.

Any clues? Does he have to create a new mdb, export the form and then mail
me that mdb?

The file extention .frm is probably a form from dBase database and is not
compatible with Access.

OH NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I found the answer. It's a form IN EXCEL! I saw in the code that it
mentioned a spreadsheet object and thought wtf?? So I went into Excel,
called up the VBE and created a form and then saved it. Sure enough, it
created a .frx AND an .frm with the same name.

My guess is I can't use them in Access at all..
