Error message 'Microsoft Access can't open the form 'Temp.''

Thanks George.

It can't simply be an issue of a corrupted file since everything was working fine until Saturday, and there's no way that (several) archived copies of the database sitting on my hard drive could also have corrupted themselves simultaneously in exactly the same way. But it does seem to be some kind of interface issue between the very old design of parts of the database, and MS Access (after the last set of updates...?)

Two odd things are: running any cross-tab query seems to generate the error message, but you can see on the screen behind the error message that the query has in fact had time to run correctly before the error message pops up. Secondly, once the error message is there, however you respond, Access just shuts itself down (with no more messages and no 'error report' generated). Sometimes if you relaunch it it opens in 'safe mode', sometimes it doesn't.
