Why not put all that second parameter into a string variable. and debug.print it. Then when correct use that instead? I would expect any object with spaces in it's name to be enclosed within [ & ], and you have been here long enough to know that?
Plus undeclared variables?
Do you Option Explicit at the top of each module?

I do have Option Explicit in place

when i use below code, it works perfect

DoCmd.OutputTo acReport, "DAW Sheet - Comm Approve", acFormatPDF, vReportPDF

When i use below code, I get an error

DoCmd.OutputTo acReport, ("[DAW Sheet - Comm Approve]" & " - Registration -" & " " & Forms![CS Raised - Mail]![RegCBO]), acFormatPDF, vReportPDF

Yes, I know, you have already said that.

So do what I suggested?
Put "[DAW Sheet - Comm Approve]" & " - Registration -" & " " & Forms![CS Raised - Mail]![RegCBO] into a string variable and debug.print it to see what you get.

This is basic 101 Access debugging

When I put the object in brackets, the file save as file name then also displays the brackets

I get to this stage of saving option and once I click on ok, i get the can find object error

Still looking in to the debug.print

Check your arguments for the command.
LOOK at the link I posted.

The second argument is the report name, not what you want to call the output.

If you really have reports with the registration details as part of their name I'd be surprised?

Hi,

Yes i merge the report name with the registration in all my save as file, makes referencing to the correct file easier

I give up

I Checked the link
My code works well when I dont link to the forms control

Only when I code to add the registration from the form I get the error

 

[Minty]

@Gismo please read the link again.
You don't have a report called
DAW Sheet - Comm Approve - Registration - ZT-RDP

Do you ? You want to call the file that.
With 900 + posts I would expect you to understand the file name goes in the 4th argument.

Whenever you see "|1" in an error message, it refers to the first thing in a list of some things. I have seen "|2" and "|3" at different times. In queries, it is usually a bad spelling or bad location for a field. In other calls, it is whatever is the first parameter. What is ACTUALLY wrong? I don't know offhand but you got some advice about your error. But where to look? The first element of whatever you are passing in!

 

[Gasman]

Why not comment that out and start again.
Use the intellisense to get arguments in the correct place?

As the others have mentioned, building the string into a variable and then printing the variable will very likely show you or at least us, what the syntax error is. So, start with that.
