Hi, this may be a stupid question, but anyway..
I have used forms to search and sort and update data (find/replace) in an access db. Since I have more forms on the formstab than I need I thought that getting rid of the unneccessary ones, but when I select a form and press delete, access asks me if I really want to do it as I won't be able to undo the action. So, under the motto 'better safe than sorry', do I actually delete any data from the database if I delete a form? Yes, I have tried searching the help files, but haven't found anything.

Your data is safe. Deleting the form will only delete that form, the controls on the form and any VB code attached to the form. The data that the form "pointed to" will not be affected.

Thanks, that's what I thought too, I was just puzzled that access asks this question, so better safe etc..

Sorry, btw, for asking this q here, just realised there is a dedicated forum for access forms :~/
