WE are unable to modify existing access forms and save them. Though there is 
 
no eorror prompted, but when we try and close the form, it prompts the usual 
 
window asking if we want to save. We click "Yes", but it doesnt save, untill 
 
we say "No" to save. 
 
We are able to create new forms, but the problem is we cannot "Save as" as 
 
well the existing form. 
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thanks

Sounds like a corrupted database. 
 
Try following the steps fro the first symptom in this article:

A decompile may also help. Enter something like this at the command prompt 
 
while Access is not running. It is all one line, and include the quotes: 
 
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile 
 
"c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb"
