Have you checked the Form's "Field List"? If you https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-name-error-in-access-2007.769023/ can post a zipped copy of the database in Access 2003 version by converting it, we 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. OBP, Nov 14, 2008 #7 obatusai Thread Starter Joined:

Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up #NAME in Access report expression up vote 1 down vote favorite 1 I #name error have an Access 2007 report which has a table as a data source. I have a few columns of data that directly pull data from the table in a summarized way (using report groups) and the last column is the total of the first 6 columns. Simple enough. Now the expression that calculates the sum of those 6 columns sometimes returns #NAME? and sometimes does not. I have more #name error in than triple-checked for any error, typo, whatever. There is no space in front of my expression; The expression does start with an =; The references to columns in the table are all valid; No control has a name even remotely similar to any column in the source table; I have tried generating the expression using the expression builder; There is no conditional formatting tied to any control; There is no VBA code used at all in generating the report. Also, sometimes if I copy the one of the boxes with #NAME?, delete it and paste it back then all the #NAME? errors disappear. Then I save and reopen the report and the errors are back. I'm out of ideas for this. I can't post screenshots or distribute the file due to its nature. Thanks ! ms-access ms-access-2007 share|improve this question asked Sep 25 '13 at 12:51 Alexandre P. Levasseur 5,66822547 You might try using VBA code instead to put values in your textbox using the reports Format event. This might lead you to the source of the problem. –HK1 Sep 25 '13 at 14:25 I converted the Access file back to Access 2003 format (the user only has 2003 on her desktop...)
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 displa
