#name Access 2013
Aug 2012 Location: Hamilton, ON, Canada Posts: 85 Thanks: 16 Thanked 2 Times in 2 Posts #Name? Error, text box can ms access #name in report not find reference I created a text box with a function for the control source =[Location]*2 where [Location] is a field on the same form (right beside this text box). I get this error in the #error access text box #Name? I know this field exists, it's right beside the text box. Funny thing is it worked yesterday. Any ideas? Did I hit a switch or an option that disable functions??? Last edited by GT_engineer; 11-27-2012 at 05:48 AM.

Error in MS Access http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=237483 Started by sunny441 , Jun 24 2010 07:48 PM Please log in to reply #1 sunny441 Posted 24 June 2010 - 07:48 PM sunny441 Member Member 258 posts Hello guys! Been a long time since I posted on here! I am working on a project using MS Access. As the topic says - I am having problems with retrieving data from a table and displaying. The one table has the component information like http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/280451-name-error-in-ms-access/ manufacture name, size and other things. The other table has some information pertaining to Temperature (mostly numbers here). On this 2nd table there are some fields that have no value and have been set to "---" by the previous db guy. All the fields are set to TEXT value. Now on the final front end - which displays information, the information from the first table shows up just fine. All the temperatures and info from the 2nd table show up as #NAME? Error. Any ideas as to what might be wrong? I have the table sources set to the right values (like =[temp rear]). I also tried changing the field from TEXT to NUmber. But that did not help. The relationship is correct and the keys are correct. I am at my wits end! Please help!!

If so, did the data display correctly until now or did something change that caused these issues?The #NAME error is letting us know (not always clearly), that something is either misspelled, has incorrect syn

controls don't exist, you cannot sum them. In forms The problem does not arise in forms that display the new record. It does occur if the form's Allow Additions property is Yes, or if the form is bound to a non-updatable query. To avoid the problem, test the RecordCount of the form's Recordset. In older versions of Access, that meant changing: =Sum([Amount]) to: =IIf([Form].[Recordset].[RecordCount] > 0, Sum([Amount]), 0) Access 2007 and later have a bug, so that expression fails. You need a function. Copy this function into a standard module, and save the module with a name such as Module1: Public Function FormHasData(frm As Form) As Boolean 'Purpose: Return True if the form has any records (other than new one). ' Return False for unbound forms, and forms with no records. 'Note: Avoids the bug in Access 2007 where text boxes cannot use: ' [Forms].[Form1].[Recordset].[RecordCount] On Error Resume Next 'To handle unbound forms. FormHasData = (frm.Recordset.RecordCount <> 0&) End Function Now use this expression in the Control Source of the text box: =IIf(FormHasData([Form]), Sum([Amount]), 0) Notes Leave the [Form] part of the expression as it is (i.e. do not substitute the name of your form.) For Access 97 or earlier, use RecordsetClone instead of Recordset in the function. A form with no records still has display problems. The workaround may not display the zero, but it should suppress the #Error. In reports Use the HasData property property, specifically for this purpose. So, instead of: =Sum([Amount]) use: =IIf([Report].[HasData], Sum([Amount]), 0) If you have many calculated controls, you need to do this on each one. When Access discovers one calculated control that it cannot resolve, it gives up on calculating the others. Therefore one bad expression can cause other calculated controls to display #Error, even if those controls are bound to valid expressions.
