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

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.

Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement keithchiv Thread https://forums.techguy.org/threads/ms-access-form-name-error.945976/ Starter Joined: Aug 26, 2010 Messages: 2 I have used a long and complex calculation in a form involving a number of fields to calculate the value of another field. The exact same calculation and field names works perfectly on another http://allenbrowne.com/RecordCountError.html form, but not on this one. (Similar, even greater, length calculations with different fields work perfectly on this form). It returns #Name error unless I give the field a fixed value. i.e. as soon as I start using one of #name error the field names in the form, it gives the #Name error. Please help, .....going bald!! keithchiv, Aug 26, 2010 #1 OBP Trusted Advisor Joined: Mar 8, 2005 Messages: 19,078 keithchiv, welcome to the Forum. The #Name error usually occurs because you have used a name for a field that is not in the Form's Record Source & Field List or is not one of the unbound text fields added later. So you need to carefully check the spellings of #name error in the field names and also check that they match those in the Field List.

I had used "cut and paste" in this calculation which had worked perfectly elsewhere in this and other forms. But for some reason, it did not on this calculated field. When I typed in the exact same formula using the "Expression builder" it worked fine. Only 2 weeks of intermittent trying to get that result!! Problem now solved. keithchiv, Aug 29, 2010 #3 This thread has been Locked and is not open to further replies.

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.
