I have an MS Access 2003 database that I’m using to develop a basic little inventory app. I have added some extraneous forms along the way and I wanted to get them out of the DB. I deleted most of them just fine but one of them appears to have left behind its VBA Object. All that’s in the object is Option Compare Database. Now whenever I try to work with the database, I get the following error:
The form name 'Transaction1' is misspelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist. If the invalid form name is a macro, ... Truncated for typings sake.
Yes, I agree, the form doesn’t exist. What confuses me so much is that all of the other forms, when I deleted them, also destroyed their VBA object as well. This one, no matter what, seems to like to stick around and I have no idea how to get rid of it.
How do I get rid of it?
Things I’ve tried:
- Compact and Repair and the DB
- Create a new form named what it’s expecting, verify that it gets rid of the problem, and then delete that form.
You can try the /decompile switch
