Using a form from an existing database in my redesign

[Walt D.]

I am currently working on a resign of a database. I was wondering if there
was some way for me to "Import" the forms from the current database into my
new one. I don't want to re-design the wheel here. the current form will
only require moderate mods. I have tried to import with various toolbar
options and have had no success. When I attempt to "Get external Data" I
get a pop-up box with input about "the search key was not found." or "name
conflicts with an existing module". Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!

File - Get External Data - Import is the method.

Another way is the click on the form and click the copy icon.

In the new database go to the forms window and paste - fill in the form name
when it prompts you.
