Dears;

Expr1: DLookUp("CountofLink_ID","Find duplicates for [8-Expiry_List]","[location code] = " & [8-Expiry_List]![location code] & " And [item_code] ='" & [8-Expiry_List]![Item_code] & "'")

It would strongly help to know WHICH error message you got. I'll say right now that having special characters like [] in a domain name (2nd DLookup argument) is highly questionable.

However, the only place that looks suspicious syntactically is your criteria clause. It will also help to see the SQL for which Expr1 is actually in use. I suspect that you have confused the DLookup with a fully qualified field spec of [8-Expiry_List]!... - because if this query is NOT on table 8-Expiry_List then that reference is unresolvable, and it if IS on table 8-Expiry_List, the reference shouldn't need to use bang (!).

Looks like the problem is with the table name defined in your DLookup():

Expr1: DLookUp("CountofLink_ID","Find duplicates for [8-Expiry_List]","[location code] = " & [8-Expiry_List]![location code] & " And [item_code] ='" & [8-Expiry_List]![Item_code] & "'")
                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                 ||||||||||||||||||||

Probably all you need is:

Expr1: DLookUp("CountofLink_ID","[8-Expiry_List]","[location code] = " & [location code] & " And item_code ='" & [Item_code] & "'")

Do you want to describe the solution? It may just help someone in future --after all that is a goal of the forum.

Shouldn't it be DCount?

Shouldn't it be DCount?

Looks like OP is performing DLookup() on an aggregate query (field being looked up is called "CountofLink_ID")
