Mystery message/form

I copied a form from one data-base to another. The original form was built from a table called "Answers". I created a new table called "AdultAnswers" and changed Form properties to show "AdultAnswers" as the RecordSource. I have one other table "PossibleResponses" and one form "AdultPreventive". That is all that is showing in my data-base. However, when I open up the data-base I get a message that says: "The form name 'Answers' is misspelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist". I am baffled as to how I can get rid of that message because I don't know where the reference to "Answers" is. Is there anyway I can find this reference to get rid of it?

Thanks,

Jeanie
 
One of 2 things to check first

1) Is there a macro called Autoexec. If so is there a line in there that opnes the form

2) Click Tools | Startup This is a list of things that happen when the database opens. In here you can specify a form to open first. If one is in there allready take it out or replace it with another form name.

Hope this helps
 
Thanks!! #2 worked...don't know what I would do without Tek-Tips :)
