    Changing data sources and getting an Error on my report

    I recently made a report in Access and then changed the data from an Excel table to a linked .csv table. This removed a column [ID] from the table. Now when I open the report it gives me an error "Enter Parameter Value" and asks me to input the [ID] value.



    How do I make it stop?

    Thanks

    You have to fix the report so that it no longer references the column that is no longer there. That's why it keeps asking you for the "parameter".

    I have looked through the report and I can't find any reference to that column. There are only 4 fields on this report, so I don't know why it would still give me an error

    Check the record source for the report. If it is a query, try running the query outside of the report. If you get the same error, then the query is referencing the non-existent field. Remove the column from the query and it should be fine.
