In trying to help a member in this thread https://www.access-programmers.co.u...-edits-not-working.330848/page-2#post-1916720 I found that the form was likely corrupt as it was behaving strangely.
I suggested that the member recreate the form, but was wondering if they could simply export as text and then import?
However I was unable to do this.
When I exported a file it was called Form_FormName
If I tried to import that, even after changing the filename and the name of the form inside the file, it complained with
Seems strange to me that you must 'tweak' something you exported and that will not import as is?
If it was to a different program I could understand, but when it is Access out and in?
Is this actually possible?, and if so what are the steps to do so please?
