#Name?
I have an unbound form with a field that has a default value = Year(Date())
On some computers it displays #NAME?, on others it is fine. Why would I get that inconsistent behavior? |

If any of the database's references are messed up on a PC -- you can get
that error. Try following these steps (from a post by Douglas Steele, MVP): This can be caused by differences in either the location or file version of certain files between the machine where the application was developed, and where it's being run (or the file missing completely from the target machine). Such differences are common when new software is installed. On the machine(s) where it's not working, open any code module (or open the Debug Window, using Ctrl-G, provided you haven't selected the "keep debug window on top" option). Select Tools | References from the menu bar. Examine all of the selected references. If any of the selected references have "MISSING:" in front of them, unselect them, and back out of the dialog. If you really need the reference(s) you just unselected (you can tell by doing a Compile All Modules), go back in and reselect them. If none have "MISSING:", select an additional reference at random, back out of the dialog, then go back in and unselect the reference you just added. If that doesn't solve the problem, try to unselect as many of the selected references as you can (Access may not let you unselect them all), back out of the dialog, then go back in and reselect the references you just unselected. (NOTE: write down what the references are before you delete them, because they'll be in a different order when you go back in) For far more than you could ever want to know about this problem, check out ttp://www.accessmvp.com/djsteele/AccessReferenceErrors.html -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP "Doug" wrote in message ...

Read this and see if it applies to your situation.
It might or might not. http://www.mvps.org/access/bugs/bugs0001.htm "Doug" wrote in message ... I have an unbound form with a field that has a default value = Year(Date()) On some computers it displays #NAME?, on others it is fine. Why would I get that inconsistent behavior? |
