I removed a number of fields from my form and subsequently removed the underlying fields in the table they were bound to. However, when i open the form I'm asked to enter parameter values for the fields I had deleted. There is no other reference to the fields within the form such as in a query. Why is this so and what can I do to remedy it?

sounds like you either have a filter on the form itself, or the form is based on a query, not a table. check the Forms data tab to see if either is true. if not, how is the form opened?, if it is from a command button on another form, perhaps it is trying to select a specifc record using one of the missing fields.

hth,

Cheers-the query generated by the wizard still contained the fields-thanks for the help
