HiI’m trying to open a form on design mode but I get this error message “Special database object cannot be located”. I also can’t open a frameset that is using this form because of this error. Can anyone help me, I’ve almost all of the suggestion I got from the forum but it does not work.
Thank you in advance.
Subject: Special database object cannot be located
You may want to try to set a default view and/or form. If you have previously set either of these, it can be a problem if they are deleted (although I’m not sure if still true in R6x).
Your form may be using a subform or other shared item that doesn’t exists or exists in another database.
Just some ideas.

Thanks for your response. I have tried to set default view or form but it still does not work. I have check through document properties, it does not use any subforms.

I also have the same error message and have looked at my form, there are no sub forms, in the form or even in the database. I have set a default form and view for the database. Yet, when I perform an action on the form, it comes up wit this msg. I can open the forms fine, just when using the ‘Submit’ button this problem occurs.
Submit Button content:
@If(Location!=“Home Based”;@Return(@MailSend(“Anna Warburton”;“”;“”;“Broadband Request: requestor not home based.”;"A broadband request form has been submitted, but the requestor - " + Name + “, is not home based.”;"The form can be found here ==> ";[IncludeDoclink]) & @SetField(“Status”;“Under Query”));
@If(Rent!=“No”;@Return(@MailSend(“Anna Warburton”;“”;“”;“Broadband Request: requestor is renting.”;"A broadband request form has been submitted, but the requestor - " + Name + “, is renting their home.”;"The form can be found here ==> ";[IncludeDoclink]) & @SetField(“Status”;“Under Query”));
@If(Move!=“No”;@Return(@MailSend(“Anna Warburton”;“”;“”;“Broadband Request: requestor is planning to move.”;"A broadband request form has been submitted, but the requestor - " + Name + “, is planning to move in the next 12 months.”;"The form can be found here ==> ";[IncludeDoclink]) & @SetField(“Status”;“Under Query”));
@MailSend(“Anna Warburton”;“”;“”;“Approval required: broadband request has been submitted”;"A broadband request form has been submitted for " + Name + “, please review and use the Approve and Reject buttons as appropriate.”;"The form can be found here ==> ";[IncludeDoclink]) & @SetField(“Status”;“Awaiting MOC Approval”)) ))
Don’t think it’s the button, and don’t think that the form is looking for any special elements, am at a lose at the moment. Any help welcome.

In my case the launch was set to [Open “About database” document] which wasnot available in the database (yet)
