Spell.

When Access says "#Name", it doesn't recognize the spelling.

Access is VERY literal ... if you have:

frmYourFirstForm

and

frmYourFisrtForm

Access will not "know" you meant the same thing.

By correcting the error in your form or report.

If you would like help doing so please post some information that a volunteer
could use to help diagnose the problem. We can't see your database from here.

Thanks for your reply. We are creating a form with contact details. In
design view , the name "Contact Details" is correct - (including spelling).
However, when we leave design view, the name appears as #Name?. Any
suggestions?,

Because you have that space in the field name you must enclose the
name within brackets:
[Contact Details]

Best to never use spaces. ContactDetails is just as easy to read as
Contact Details.

The name of... what? A Form? A Subform? A control? Where is the #Name?
appearing?
