My query includes a field from the table called VoiceMail. This is a yes/no field and is a checkbox on my form. When I create a new report based on this query using the wizard, The first item on the list is Expr1000. The VoiceMail field is also a choice. I do NOT have Expr1000 anywhere in my database and was just wondering where this is coming from. If I include both Expr1000 and VoiceMail in a report, they are identical.

I had to ask, not that it really bothers anything!

hello

it could be coming from a field in your query

have a look in the field criteria in your queries

Already looked thoroughly. There is no mention of that anywhere in the DB.

Edit:
here is the SQL of the query:

SELECT [tbl_info].[VoiceMail], [tbl_info].[OrderNumber], [tbl_info].[Status], [tbl_info].[Department], [tbl_info].[Analog], [tbl_info].[CPnumber], [tbl_info].[CostCenter], [tbl_info].[VoiceMail], [tbl_info].[Date], [tbl_info].[Phone], [tbl_info].[Type of Request], [tbl_info].[Ext Number], [tbl_info].[Phone Location], [tbl_info].[TN], [tbl_info].[Rollover After 6], [tbl_info].[If busy to], [tbl_info].[Call pick up group with], [tbl_info].[Speed call pick up group], [tbl_info].[Contact Person], [tbl_info].[Conference call], [tbl_info].[Add Ons], [tbl_info].[Request Details], [tbl_info].[Misc]
FROM tbl_info
WHERE ((([Status]=[Forms]![AdminForm]![StatusFilter] Or [Forms]![AdminForm]![StatusFilter] Is Null)=True) And (([Department]=[Forms]![AdminForm]![SearchDeptCombo] Or [Forms]![AdminForm]![SearchDeptCombo] Is Null)=True));

You have "[tbl_info].[VoiceMail]" in there twice. One of the occurrences is renamed by Access as EXPRxxx.

If you run the query (as in display the resulting datasheet) you will also see that the renaming happens there too.

Good catch, thank you! I guess sometimes it takes an extra set of eyes.... :eek:
