It sounds like you developed a report in a newer version of Access, then tried to use it in an older version.
You may have to recreate the report in the older version.

You asked for help without providing any information about your environment or controls. Do other forms/reports open okay?

You have been given the answer twice. See post #2 and post #5.

This form was created in a newer version of Access. It uses a a control or property that is only available in that newer version.

Now you are trying to open the form in an older version of Access which doesn't recognize that control or property. It displays the error message instead.

Probably, someone else created this database for you. You can ask them to recreate it in the same, older version you have.
Or, you can upgrade your own Access to the newer version of Access used to create the database so you can use it.

By the way, did you deliberately overlook advice not to use all capital letters? It's considered rude to use all capital letters in forums. People do notice.
