copying access objects from file to file.

Hi,

I have an Access 2000 ADP with many forms, modules, class modules, and
reports.

I have another ADP with the same. I want to put the forms( with VBA code) of
one of these into the other file.

A simple copy and paste should work but when I copy and paste the form into
the other project and try to run the form, I get errors:

network connection has been lost.

I would guess this is a microsoft glitch.

how can I get my forms accompanying VBA code from one access file to another
without breaking it. Also the copy breaks all the original forms too.

thanks

Chris

Go to the new database and use the File/Get Exterbal Data option from the
menu. This will bring a dialog box for you to choose the database to
import from. Then pick the tables/forms/queries... that you want to import.

Sorry Chris, not a Microsoft glitch, it is a Chris glitch
The correct way to do this is open the mdb where you want the object to be,
then
Use File-Get External Data from the menu, select the mdb where the objects
are. You will then be presented a dialog where you can select the objects
you want to import.
