to the apt thoughts of men The things that are not?' Shakespeare, Julius Caesar (1599) access Q&A excel Q&A technical notes convert DB site map access #type! error Form and Report Text Boxes Show #Error Question I use ms access #error expressions as the Control Source for text boxes on forms and reports. Some of these #error access query work OK, but others throw #Error. I cannot see why. Do you know? Applies To This topic is relevant to Microsoft Access 97, 2000, #error in access form 2002 (XP), 2003, 2007 and 2010. Answer The most common reason we find is that the name of the text box control itself is the same as the name of a field in the record source of the form, or of the report, that bears the text box. By way
Access #error In Textbox
of illustration, imagine a form or report based on a table that has a field named 'TelNo'. Also, that a text box on the form or report is named 'TelNo'. For the control Source of the text box, you input ="Telephone No: " & [TelNo]. Now Access cannot make up its mind between TelNo the field and TelNo the text box, and as a result displays the error. Change the name of the text box to 'tebTelNo', say, and the Control Source expression to ="Telephone No: " & [tebTelNo] and the text box should behave.

of ms access #error in sum field Use Forms: Resolve #Name error in a ms access if error form/report Author(s) Dev Ashish (Q) Why do I get a #NAME error for http://www.consultdmw.com/access-control-error.htm a calculated control on a form or a report? (A) You are probably using the same name for a calculated text box as one of the terms http://access.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0018.htm in the expression. In the following example, Access produces a #NAME error if you enter the expression in a control named City, State, or ZIP: =[City] & "", "" & [State] & "" "" & [ZIP] This creates a circular reference that may be resolved by changing the name of the control that contains this expression to something (anything) other than City, State, or ZIP. © 1998-2010, Dev Ashish & Arvin Meyer, All rights reserved.

Reports with unbound fields #Name? error P: 16 beat1078 I have a report that I https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/514816-reports-unbound-fields-name-error create using unbound text boxes to link to an open form. When you click on http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-access/access-report-text-box-formula-generates/6e7f0ab6-7577-4baf-8af6-339936cceb22 a cmdbutton on the form the report is supposed to print out information from the form. It works fine until I close the database and restart it. That is when I receive the #Name? error. Nothing that I have tried works to resolve the issue. My text box names do not include references to the information I am requesting in the control error in source (txtNme for field name and =reports![ReportName]![FieldName] for control source) If anyone can help I would greatly appriciate it. --Jason Jul 22 '06 #1 Post Reply Share this Question 3 Replies 100+ P: 179 comteck This can be caused when the name that you supplied as the source of the control's value is not valid. You use the ControlSource property to specify the source of the control's value. For example, you might have misspelled the name, or the error in access source might have been renamed or deleted. You may also see #Name? in a control if you place an expression in the control's ControlSource property and you insert a space before the equal sign that starts the expression. Make sure that all the fields specified in your ControlSource actually exist in the underlying table or the RecordSource.. As well, if you're using an expression in the ControlSource, make sure there's an equal sign in front of the expression. Hope this helps. comteck Jul 22 '06 #2 reply P: 16 beat1078 Comteck, I triple checked my expression in the controlsource. It reads exactly as this: =Forms!frmInputForm![PERSON SSN] No space in front of the equal sign. I even used the expression builder to make sure I didn't mistype anything. When I start a new report and just put one unbound box in and use this control source everything works until I close access and then open the file again. That is the only thing that triggers this and then it will not work again. It prints with the #Name? on the printout as well so I know it is just not in print preview that I am seeing this. I also have the form open while I am previewing this report so the data it is supposed to access is right there. I am all out of ideas. --Jason Jul 24 '06 #3 r
