Al,
Have you backed it up (just in case....)? Then open the form as a table with USE Myform.SCX excl and PACK it. The problem may be caused by extraneous records.

Also, try compiling it explicitly with COMPILE MyForm.

Finally, of course, take the big plunge and start a new form, copying the controls on each page of your pageframe over to the new form and then the form methods.
