Use Forms: Resolve #Name error in a ms access #name in report form/report Author(s) Dev Ashish (Q) Why do I get a #NAME error for
#error Access
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 access control source #name? 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.

Form P: 3 jkriner #Name? error message in Access Form -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello I
#type Access
have created a simple database with 4 tables (all the same fields in each table). I then created a form and control source access 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 http://access.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0018.htm 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 https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/683767-name-error-message-access-form 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

Reports with unbound fields #Name? error P: 16 beat1078 I have a report that I create using https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/514816-reports-unbound-fields-name-error unbound text boxes to link to an open form. When you click on a cmdbutton http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?1663452-Name-error-on-unbound-text-box 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 source (txtNme for field ms access 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 source might have been renamed or ms access error 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 reply P: 16 beat1078 To all that contemplated this post: I t

I've tried searching through the forum in order to find what I'm looking for and wasn't able to so I'm asking the community for help. I have an unbound textbox in frmMain where I would like it to load a ranking total from qryRanking. So far I've tried these two things: 1) changing control source of the txtbox to = [Query_Ranking]![Ranking] 2) loading a subform and doing =[Forms]![frmRanking]![Ranking] I receive a #Name? error for both. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Cheers.
