    Cannot save changes to forms on front end DB

    I Access 2016 DataBase and want to add a new field to a form. I make the change on the form and click save. when I try to close the form I get error message asking Do you want to save changes to the design of form ? I click yes again. the form remains open and they cycle continues. I even tried to save as the entire thing and it did the same thing... Any help please ?!?!

    is the db set in read only mode?
    can you create a blank form and save it? if yes, then its something else. not RO.
    is anyone else in the db at the same time? that could prevent save.

    No it is not read only and I am the only one with access to it.

    Thanks
