#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 "#type!" error 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 #name error in access 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.

It's quick & easy. #Name? error message in Access Form P: 3 jkriner #Name? error message in Access Form -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello I have created a simple database with 4 tables (all the same fields in each table). I then created a form and copied it 3 times (renaming the forms according to the table names). I changed the recource source in each form to reflect the corresponding table but now in some of the fields (in the copied forms) I am getting a #Name? message in a couple of the fields. Any help would be great... thanks :) Jul 26 '07 #1 Post Reply Share this Question 4 Replies Expert Mod 10K+ P: 12,110 Rabbit It probably means your field names from your record source don't match up with the control source property of the controls on the form. Jul 26 '07 #2 reply P: 3 jkriner ok, I just copied the original form (ie. table09 goes with form09 and then I copied form09 3 times and renamed them form10, form 11, form12...there is data in each of the tables (table 9, table10, table11, table12) that shows up in the corresponding forms, but how do I get the fields to match up? I am somewhat clueless (as you can tell) when creating anything in access and that is why I copied the form three times so I wouldn't have to redesign it each time) thanks so much Jul 26 '07 #3 reply Expert 100+ P: 1,206 JKing First I suggest checking the record source for each form. Open up the form properties and make sure you have the right table set for each form. For example Form9 should be set as table9, form10 set as table10. Once this is done open the properties for any textboxes that are giving you a #name error. There is drop down for the control source property. Select the proper field name from the list. This should get rid of any errors you have. Jul 26 '07 #4 reply Expert Mod 10K+ P: 12,110 Rabbit If the tables have different field names, then the controls on the form that reference those field names will be wrong because they're using the field names from the original form. You have to change the control source property of the control to reflect the field names in the table.
