VBP and FRM files are just text, so you can open them with NotePad to work
on them. Some FRM files have a complementary FRX files that is the "binary
stash." Unfortunately, it's not as accessible. If your form is indeed
corrupted, you may lose the information in the FRX file. This includes the
form icon, any pictures, and properties for some controls.
If you open up the VBP, you'll see that it's an INI-style listing of forms,
modules and various project properties. You can manually edit a copy of
this file to remove the offending form. I would recommend this as a
diagnostic, because it will allow you to isolate the problem.
Another place to look is the LOG file generated with the same name as the
form. It can offer clues as to why the form is not loading.
