Well, I don't know really what to say about this one:
Here I am thinking I'm doing the simplest job in the world, adding labels. I drag and drop about 3 labels on my form, and name them "comm1", "comm2" and "comm3". I will need them later to show comments but for now, there is no code anywhere talking about comm 1 to 3.
I am of the practise that whenever I do something new, I test it. I add something, I test, I write a piece of code, I test it three times in the middle. it takes times, However my coding-fu has not sufficientely developed yet to write long stretches of code without some testing in between.
at any rate, here I am adding three labels and then testing:
"The Record source "comm3" specified on this form or report does not exist."
usually I can read what an error means. but this one? I have no idea which secret message it holds.
it is true, I do use a recordsource on the form, but that one worked and works fine and is not called comm3.
maybe I shouldn't call it comm ? maybe I misplaced it? maybe access is angry at me for oversleeping? or it didn't like my rant about dates?
I am at a loss
Edit: to make matters worse, deleting the offending labels does not help. I have to recreate the form. simply ctrl a, ctrl c and ctrl v does the job, but it does seem like it renames something in my form when I rename the label (and I checked "comm3" does not exist when I deleted it)
