Never safe to assume. &nbsp;I do a compact and repair every day, but this problem developed since then I guess. &nbsp;I got way too far into the problem before doing the obvious. &nbsp;Thanks capricorn1, Rey Obrero for the sanity check. &nbsp; Thanks, Jim Dettman for humoring me with the quick advice and guidance.

Why does a Form open from Design View, but not directly from the Navigation pane or from code?  When I try to open it from the Navigation window or from code, Access freezes (or goes into a loop, I can't tell which).  I can then only close it by hovering over the Access Icon, then over the instance icon that appears, and selecting the "x".  This form is in Split Form view, and used to work fine some time ago.  It's been a while since it was used, and we've upgraded from Office 2007 to Office 2010 in the meantime.

Access 2010 Forms, won't open

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
