Default Calculated Field in Form

I have a calculated field in a form (that was working & now it's not). The
formula is as follows:

=[2009 TOTAL Participants (July)]/[2009 EE]

The above referenced are fields in the form. The formula is located in the
Control Source, Default Value, Before Update and After Update locations. It
is set to percent with 2 decimal places. I receive a #Name? error.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Default Calculated Field in Form

The above referenced are fields in the form.
Use the orignal calculations instead of the form text box names in the
calculation.

Default Calculated Field in Form

The odd thing is....it worked at one point. Not sure what happened to cause
the change. I tried adjusting the expression to read from the query, not the
form - however it didn't work.

What is your formula for [2009 TOTAL Participants (July)] and for [2009
EE] ?

2009 Total Participants (July) and 2009 EE are not calculated fields -
instead it is straight data.

Default Calculated Field in Form

Already responded to in another newsgroup.

By posting the same question in more than one newsgroup, you give yourself
more work (checking all the places you posted), and you give us more work
(we volunteer our time here, so the time spent solving an issue someone else
already has solved is time we don't have to help someone else...)

Are [2009 TOTAL Participants (July)] and [2009 EE] names of fields in your
table?
Or they labels applied in the form?
