Not if you hit reply to an existing thread, even if you change the
title, it will still be considered part of the original thread topic.

Good stuff, thanks for the info.

OK, so the problem seems to be narrowed down to that form.

A few further questions :
- does the form contain any image fields ?

- does the form contain any boolean fields ?

- is the form based on a joined query (multitable), a view, or just a
simple one table query ?

The form saved outside of the database shouldn't contain any personal
data other than that of the user that created it (and only then if you
have filled in those details in the corresponding LO Options screen). Of
course, it will contain references to the fields of the table(s) to
which it originally linked, which you may or may not want to reveal.

If you send me the ODB file in private (alex.thurgood <at> gmail.com), I
can assure you it will remain confidential (I'm an attorney).
