| 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. |

| Usually, the name of the text label itself is set to "Enter Start Date:" instead of "txtStartDate". Make sure your controls are not named the same as that which your control source resolves to.~ Shaun MerrillSeattle, WA |
