A little further search brings up this error described but no
suggestion as to its cause or cure. If you were to post the text file
for the first form that fails, some of us might see if we can load the
form into a database with the LoadFromText method. If so, we will know
its not your form. If not, we might be able to study the problem in
general terms, (or you could just send me the text file and I'll post
it: lyle dot fairfield at gmail dot com).
