Copy the form to the new table, delete the original form, and rename the
new form.

Paul,
Not quite as easy to unload and edit the form code as in the DOS
days. Major problems is that the unload creats two form files. The
Frm file and the LOB file. Assuming you have stored the form in the
database as uncompressed. The LOB file will contains a readable
version of the code. You counld edit if you know what you are doing.
Problem arises that the file size and location of parts of the form
code changes. The location and size of these parts are in the FRM
file. You would need to adjust those fields. Haven't yet deciphered
all the parts and how to make the modifications.
Another approach is to create a blank form using the new table then
open the old form and cut and paste between the old and new.

How about unload the form and then edit out the form info
(FornName_Form.frm) with a text editor and then load the form.
Had to be different. So many options! - Heck I am having trouble
just choosing the drop down effect I should use in a form. It was
easier in DOS in some ways when there was only one way.

Alex,
Rename the form, then "copy" it (with the right-click menu, or the
navigator menu). Give the new copy the original name. As you create
the new form, you have the opportunity to specify the main table.

Hello,
Is it possible to change the main table on a form without starting
from scratch?
