#Name? in calculated fields
I have some pretty basic calc fields set up in a form. They were working just
fine. I went back into the same form and now the a #Name? error is showing up - yet I changed nothing? Any ideas on how a clac field would work fine then all of a sudden it doesn't work right? -- Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com |

#Name? means it can not find what it thinks is a field.
Maybe you changed something that it was refering to like a field of a cross tab query that now no longer exist. -- Build a little, test a little.

#Name? in calculated fields
Hi -
You may get this error if the name of a control and the name of a control source are the same, e.g. if a control name is ProductCost and the name of a field in the underlying table/query is also ProductCost. If so, try changing the name of the control(s) to not match a field name. HTH John szag wrote: I have some pretty basic calc fields set up in a form. They were working just fine.

#Name? in calculated fields
It is likely a corrupted textbox. To test it, drag a new control onto the
form with the same controlsource. God Bless, Mark A. Sam "szag via AccessMonster.com" u2885@uwe wrote in message news:a3164c596344b@uwe... I have some pretty basic calc fields set up in a form.
