form/report Author(s) Dev Ashish (Q) Why do I get a #NAME error for ms access forms reports 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 ms access crystal reports 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.

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 http://access.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0018.htm :) 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 https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/683767-name-error-message-access-form 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. Jul 26 '07 #5 reply Message Cancel Changes Post your reply Join Now >> Sign i

Error in Access Report Hi All, I have a report with an unbound textbox field. I go to this fied's control source and use the expression builder to drill down to the query and it's specific field/column (i.e say it has a value of 100) which I want the report to retrieve and display, but it shows a #Name? error. The expression builder automatically gives the correct name of the query and field/column name, so there is no issue with the naming convention. How can I fix this error so that my textbox in my report returns the value of a specific field in my query? Below is the expression builder formula. The first bracket syntax is my Query name, the second bracket syntax is the field I want to retrieve: = Code: =[Q3 Sum Contracts Less than $1 Million]![SumOfCountOfContract_Action] Thanks!
