Linkage between form and module is lost.

Days of work lost! I was nearly finished with the
project, having just added some minor changes to a form.
Closed the form then save. The popup that asks if you
want to save the forms showed two form
names: "frmAccountsReceivable" and "Maintain Accounts
Receivable Data". The first form is one that I had open
in design view but the other form was named the same as
the Caption of the "frmAccountsReceivable" form. At
first, I did not know what the second form was all about
since I had never created anything like that. I decided
to rename the mystery form as "frmUnknown". After that
event, I observe:
1. If I open any form, I get the error message: Module
not found. The VBA window then pops up.

2. If I click on the code module for
form "frmAccountsReceivable", I get an error message
indicating that I am referencing a form that does not
exist.

3. My original form, "frmAccountsReceivable" is lost.
Form "frmUnknown" does exist but cannot access its code
module. Form "frmUnknown" has the contents of
form "frmAccountsReceivable".

4. I can create a new form but cannot save changes to it
or any prior forms.

5. I copied my database to a removable USB drive so I
could try this on my old PC running Windows 98SE. When I
did the copy, I got the warning message: "The
file 'XXXXX' has extra information attached to it that
might be lost if you continue copying. The contents of
the file will not be affected. Information that might be
lost includes: CA_INOCULATEIT:$DATA

Am I doomed?
