Hi Richard, I have an Idea about transferring forms from the current database your working on to a different database that is already split. I have a backup where I do all my changes to forms, queries, modules etc. Instead of going through all the steps to transfer the updated form, Why can't we just open a form and choose the updated form from a dropdown list to be transferred to the already split database. Then by the click of a button the updated form automatically gets transferred to the split database. IT automatically checks to see if the old form is there which it will be, then a pop up msgbox will ask if we want to replace the old form with the new form. we just say yes. Of all we can do on our database even our split database we should be able to do that using VBA code and a combobox.
