#name?

I have a report with a query. I added to the query a field called "soccer".
On the report I reference the field in an equation =sum([os])+[soccer].
However, I'm getting a #name? on the equation field. When I look at the
report the soccer field has a green box indicating a problem When I open
that it tells me it's an invalid control. Why? I took it immediately from
the field selector, so I know its valid.

Any help would be appreciated. by theby using Access 2007. Thanks.

Margaret,

Without more details here are a few things to check...

1. Make sure that the field specified in the control's ControlSource
property hasn't been removed from the underlying table or record source.

2. Check the spelling of the field name in the control's ControlSource
property.

3. If you specified an expression in the control's ControlSource property,
make sure that there is an equal sign preceding the expression.

4. Make sure the names of the field does not match the name of any of the
controls in your formula

5. Check for missing references

See if any of those apply to you. If not post back.
