Default Cannot get Design View on a form

Hello,

On one particular form in my database I cannot get Design View to pull up
the form. Other forms I can get Design View fine. When I click on this form
and hit the Design button, nothing happens. I am stumped as to why I can
design other forms but not this one.

Thanks, Kent

Kent

On the off chance that there's some subtle corruption, have you tried
opening another .mdb file, importing that form, then re-opening the first
..mdb and re-importing?

Have you tried Compact & Repair, under Tools, Database...

Has User Level Security been implemented on the database? If so, has this
form been locked down to prevent modifications?

I have tried what you describe below and the same issue happens with the
form. I have also run compact and repair to no avail. I am thinking since I
can open the form in design mode on a different computer it might be a MS
Office issue.

ULS has not been implemented on this DB, the only settings in that option
list is for admins and they have full access to all objects.
