#name? displayed on 1 users machine but not others.
Hi there,
I've got a report that has on 1 user's machine diplays #name? for some (not all) of the text fields. Running the exact same report on other machines and the report is fine. Looking at the underlying data displayed in access is fine. There must be some configuration issue but I cannot fathom what it is? Deos anybody have any ideas? |

#name? displayed on 1 users machine but not others.
When it works on one computer and fails on another, the first thing I think
of is broken library references. To do its job, Access makes use of various external program and object libraries. If you move a database from one machine to another, these references may be "broken". When this happens, you need to take steps to let Access repair the reference(s) ON THE COMPUTER WHERE THE FAILURE IS OCCURING. Here are MVP Doug Steele's instructions for how to do it: *** Quote *** Any time functions that previously worked suddenly don't, the first thing to suspect is a references problem. 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 http://www.accessmvp.com/djsteele/Ac...nceErrors.html Just so you know: the problem will occur even if the library that contains the specific function that's failing doesn't have a problem. **** End Quote **** -- John Spencer Access MVP 2002-2005, 2007 Center for Health Program Development and Management University of Maryland Baltimore County ..
