If you're asking whether Access forms are stored as text files
somehow, then the answer is no. I had a go trying to export an Access
form in the hope that you might be able to edit it and them import it
back in but I all I managed to do was export the data from the form
rather than the form design itself.

However, I have Access 2003. I'm not sure if previous versions of
Access store the forms differently...

Double Colon as LINECOMMENT for *.bat stx file

I use :: within DOS Batch Files (XP Command Files) for Comments. For example: @echo off :: Purpose: Backup all Text Files into a Zip File :: Written: 09/18/2005 by Brad Sherwood I can not figure out how to get Edit Plus to recognize lines starting with :: as comments. I've tried the following within the Syntax file... but not working for me. (REM and rem are working.... just not ::) #LINECOMMENT=:: #LINECOMMENT2=rem #LINECOMMENT3=REM Any Ideas?
