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.

What do you mean by that? obatusai, Nov 13, 2008 #3 OBP Trusted Advisor Joined: Mar 8, 2005 Messages: 19,066 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 https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-name-error-in-access-2007.769023/ 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 can look at it for you. Or post screenshots of the Table in design mode and the Form with a Field with the problem in design mode.

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 Attachment

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 #name error in error. It doesn't make sense. Can anyone please help? ms-access ms-access-2007 share|improve this question asked Jul 5 '11 at 19:24 jerry 88522250 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote accepted Try naming the control differently from source name. 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 1,82511321 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote I've seen that error (long time ago) and managed to fix it, IIRC, by wrapping the fully qualified name in brackets, e.g. [source table].[column name]. Something to try at any rate. share|improve this answer answered Jul 5 '11 at 19:28 Tim 3,8321860110 Yeah, I tried that but it still doesn't work.
