Checkboxes on form cause run-time error

[tmyers]

After rearranging my form it appears something happened to my check boxes. In my code, I am just doing true/false checks but am getting run time error 2424, The expression you entered has a field, control, or property name that Access can't find.

I have deleted the controls and re-added them. I have tried switching the code to refer to their bound field instead, but nothing seems to work. Is it possible the form is corrupted?

Possible -sure.
But why not attach a copy o the problem database when you have a "new" and persistent error.

What do you mean by "Rearrange" ? If the check boxes were bound and in the form's detail section, their position on screen within the same section is totally immaterial. Access can locate data fields in any order.

However, if you changed the section of the form in which that box was located, that might make some difference. Did you rename a control? Be more specific about "rearrange" so we can understand and help you.

If it is corruption Follow instructions and see it helps. You should try it anyways just to get familiar with the process and have your shortcut set up.

It would appear somewhere along the line, a join in my forms control query somehow became invalid. It just so happened the code I was messing with affected just checkboxes which became messed up as a result of the messed up join. Don't know how it happened, but it has been fixed and everything is working again.

Also, that was a nice bit of info Majp, thank you.
