Form design view option disabled
Hello,
I am unable to get an ACCDB for to show up on design view - the option is disabled. I can view the form in layout view, and then change to design but not to design directly. I have browsed for solutions but nothing has worked. This problem exists for ALL db's, existing ones or even a new one just created.
Things I've tried.
Decompile / recompile / import to new db - design disabled
Create new accdb, create & save form - design disabled
Has anyone heard of this scenario and/or any other suggestions

Can you upload a db that exhibits this behavior ?

Attached is the accdb. I did try this on my Access 2003 and I am getting the same issue on a 2003 mdb as well - the only difference is I can not go into design view after I load the form. Never had a problem like this before today.

I am able to get into Form design directly, BUT ... I get this error message first - because I do not have the external (SQL ?) tables that the query driving Form1 is referencing - I guess.
Also, nothing is grayed out
