the message #Name? in the text

[grad2009]

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,

It sounds like you did not select a RecordSource for your form.

thanks alot RuralGuy
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).

It sounds like you have to existing records and AllowAdditions is set to NO.

Are you saying that my post #4 solved your issue? I thought maybe there were some more issues that Allen's page helped you resolve.
