Hello,

First things first back up your DB file.

Open Designer.
Open your DB file.
Save it as a new DSR file.
Remove everything but the database and forms that you want.
Rename that database, and the forms in it.
Save it as a new DB file.

Open Sesame
Open your original DB file.
Expand the application utilites folder
Click Merge Application.
Choose the DB file that you just created.
