If you opened the FRM file with Notepad and you saw nothing, then the form
code is lost and you have to use a backup. I have never heard of VB6 doing
this, so it must be from another source. Look at the file size for the FRM
file for one of the forms that you can't load and post it here for some
guidance. Right click the file and select Properties and post the file size
in bytes, not what Windows Explorer shows which is in rounded kilobytes.

Do these "empty" files have a zero length? If not, try fining yourself a hex
editor and have a look in the files using that. Look for any strange
characters, possibly 00 bytes or 0C bytes at or near the start. If you find
any of these, change then to 20 and try again. Leave any 0A or 0D alone.

If they're 0 bytes, then they're almost certainly lost.

I would also take a look at the backups on a different PC, if you can, to
see whether they're really corrupt or whether it's something on your PC that
makes them look like they are.

I have looked at these files with a Hex Viewer. The Hex code is present. I'm
currently searching the net for a Hex editor, but Im not quite sure how to
edit Hex code and what exactly to edit.
