Have another database - same layout - can I copy a Form (that I spent much
time on) and use it on a new Table?

Thank you.

Sure, in the new database, go to File>Get External Data> Import and browse
to your old database. Select the form you want, and it will import it to
the new database. If the form is based on a query, you should import the
query as well. If the table in the new database is different, you will have
to modify the record source for the new table name.

If your form contains any embedded VBA code it can get corrupted and cause
you headaches with a 'may have lost network connection'error

To avoid this do one of two things
AS SOON AS you import the form, COMPILE your database. DO NOT open the
form (or anything for that matter) until you have compiled your data base

or

Remove the code before you import the form (cut it and paste it into a
notepad document). Then paste it into the imported form. then COMPILE just
to be sure.

Make a backup of the new database before you do it just in case.
