#name? Access Form
P: 3 jkriner #Name? error message in Access Form -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello I have created #name access text box a simple database with 4 tables (all the same fields in each table). I then created a form and copied
#name Access 2013
it 3 times (renaming the forms according to the table names). I changed the recource source in each form to reflect the corresponding table but now in some of the fields (in the copied forms) ms access #name in report I am getting a #Name? message in a couple of the fields. Any help would be great... thanks :) 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, #error access 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 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

2 Posts #Name? Error, text box can 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 https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/683767-name-error-message-access-form beside this text box). I get this error in the 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.

I basically just create a text field in a report, use the build tool to find the #name error 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 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 #name error message 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.
