Enter Paramater Value/Report Question

[pretoria]

I have numerous reports based on queries with a criteria date select string. So when I Preview the report I first get asked "Enter start date:" etc.

In all reports I have entered a text label with date control source stating "=[Enter start date:]" to have the start date parameter value printed on the report. All straight forward up to now. Anyone have an idea why with some other reports when I enter the exact same code the report preview text label renders "#name?". I don't get it?? So I thought maybe I should change it to something completely different. "Start book date". I changed it for both query and report label and still get "#name?".

Completely clueless and I have rechecked them all. The labels are all consistent with the criteria string in the query.

thanks.

The problem is that the Name property of the control has the name of one of the fields of the form's RecordSource. Rename the control.
