Can you export a form from a database

[Bob H]

I have an updated form with tabs for multiple forms in a database on 1
pc, which I would like to use on the same database on another pc. I know
you can export tables, but what about forms.

Thanks

If there is no linkage between the 2 PC's, why not just copy the form
and burn it to a CD, then transfer the CD to the 2nd PC and copy it
into the new database? Remember to then un-check the Form's Read only
Attribute.

Yes I could do that if I knew how to get the form out of the existing
dbase. I know you can export tables, but can you export forms?

Thanks

There's an undocumented SaveAsText method (and a corresponding LoadFromText
method)

I talked about them in my February, 2005 "Access Answers" column in Pinnacle
Publication's "Smart Access". You can download the column (and sample
database) for free at http://www.accessmvp.com/DJSteele/SmartAccess.html

Update: I found out how to do it now.
