I recall that something similar happened to me once too, but only the
forms that are currently opened gone, not all of them.
What I learned was: With Access, you should always do this when
developing something:
Every 2-3 hrs (or before any significant changes) close the project,
save it as a new file and continue on that new file.
Every few days (depending on the amount of code you put in) create a
new blank mdb file and import all the objects from the old file
(including custom menu)
That way you have a trail of your work and you can revert to any
specific point you want

This is concerning Access 2000 and some pretty incomprehensible

OK, I hope someone can explain this to me. After spending some 30
hours
developing forms and modules for an Access database (with a lot of
help form
the folks here), suddenly Access decides to delete all of the forms
and
modules.
I was working on a form to open another form to a specific record. I
had just
finished the form for a trial and closed it, the typical dialog obx
came up
asking if I wanted to save the form, I said yes, it opend the dialog
box
asking for a name and I entered a name (frmInMov), hit the ok button
and
suddenly all the forms listed in Database view window disappeard. Just
gone.
Also gone were all the modules.
The tables are fine as are the queries and reports I've written to
date, but
all forms are simply not there. No amount of messing with it seems to
turn
anything up.
Any ideas at all or do I just have to start over?
Thanks for any help,
