hello guys,
i created a form with the form design then i dragged the text box tool in it, after that in the Control Source property of the text box i chose one field from an existed table, then when i open it in the form view this message (#Name?) in the text box.
can you tell me what's the problem?
thanks,
 
The "#Name?" you are seeing is simply an indication that the reference to the name of the field you attempted to use as the control source is invalid.

You must select an available field from the Record Source you provided for your form, not just any field from any table in the database.

Set the Record Source for your form to either a table or better to a query that you design for the purpose. Then you can select one of the fields from this record source as the control source for your text box.
 
thanks alot Mr. B
i did what you told me but when i open the form in the in the form view it appears as a blank page ( i mean the textbox doesn't appear in the view).
 
is this fixed? - almost certainly you are using a reference that refers to the named field in some way - so access cant resolve the presentation.
