How to fix a #Name? Error in Access Report

[legalhustler]

Hi All,

I have a report with an unbound textbox field. I go to this fied's control source and use the expression builder to drill down to the query and it's specific field/column (i.e say it has a value of 100) which I want the report to retrieve and display, but it shows a #Name? error. The expression builder automatically gives the correct name of the query and field/column name, so there is no issue with the naming convention.

How can I fix this error so that my textbox in my report returns the value of a specific field in my query?

Below is the expression builder formula. The first bracket syntax is my Query name, the second bracket syntax is the field I want to retrieve: =

=[Q3 Sum Contracts Less than $1 Million]![SumOfCountOfContract_Action]

Thanks!

The text box should be bound to the ROWSOURCE. (the field in the forms attached query)
This comes from the form being bound to RECORDSOURCE.


If you have unbound fld..you need to use =DLOOKUP([field],query,"where statement")
you cant just attach a query to an unbound field.

Yeah, I figured DLookup would work also, but for the report I needed to generate had over over 40 queries so I created a Union query and was able to extract the fields to my report from that without any issues.

Thanks.
