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.
