I haven't seen or heard of that problem before, but here is something you might try that would be faster than creating a new form. Use your fmb file and do a Convert to Text, then Convert to Binary. This two-step process removes any compiled code from the form and shrinks the fmb size significantly.
These steps are under File, Administration, Convert in the Forms Designer menu.
Something sounds "out of whack" in your form, and my suggestion above probably won't fix it. If I had the problem, I would take one of the offending forms, and start removing objects until the problem goes away, and try to find what piece was causing all the trouble.
