A couple of weeks ago I had a major GFE in my development
SYSREPOS file. I somehow got my system running again but
now have a form that is not being recognized by the system.
It's not in the AM outliner and can not be brought up in
Form Designer. The form record is in SYSREPOSWINS,
SYSREPOSWINEXES, and the events are in SYSREPOEVENTS. How
can I create a SYSREPOS record for this form so I can use it
again???
Thanks…

Steve,
Here are the steps we've used to recover in these situations:
1. Open up the SYSREPOSWINS record in the System Editor. Do a "Save As" and call it "TEMP" or whatever in any table (we generally use SYSLISTS.)
2. Delete the record from the SYSREPOSWINS table.
3. Open the Form Designer and create a very simple window. Save it using the name of your original window. This will create a SYSREPOS record for this window.
4. Go back in to the System Editor and open up the record that is holding the original window layout. Do a "Save As" to the SYSREPOSWINS table against the original name of your window. Of course you want to overwrite the existing record.
5. Open the window again in the Form Designer and force it to recompile.
Lo and behold, restored window.
