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.

What do you mean by that? obatusai, Nov 13, 2008 #3 OBP Trusted Advisor Joined: Mar 8, 2005 Messages: 19,078 This error usually occurs when the Field Name in the Form's Field's Record Source Property does not match that of the Table or query providing the data. Have you checked the Form's "Field List"? If you can post a zipped copy of the database in Access 2003 version by converting it, we https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-name-error-in-access-2007.769023/ can look at it for you.

You can then open a blank Excel Worksheet and Paste the "Image" in to it. Now open the Form in design view and click on a Filed that has the #name problem, make sure the the Properties are showing and then use the Prontscreen to capture the image and paste that in the Excel Sheet as well. Use the "Go Advanced" and "Manage Attachments" Buttons to post the Excel sheet as an Attachmnent.

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 ms access now in some of the fields (in the copied forms) I am getting a #Name? message in a couple of the fields.

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?

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.

I basically just create a text field in a report, use the build tool to find the relevant field from a subreport/query, and then set it. I know the path is right for the control source because I am not typing it myself, I am selecting it. The field I am referencing still exists and is actually located where the controlsource is pointing. But for some reason, I get this error. It doesn't make sense.

For example, if you have field in the source called "Name", give the control name "Name_Textbox". Just to make sure you have two different names (source vs. control). I think I had these problems in previous versions of MS Access (e.g. 2003). share|improve this answer answered Jul 10 '11 at 6:34 Igor Turman 1,85511322 add a comment| Did you find this question interesting?
