    Desktop Services Template Report Expressions Failing Despite No Apparent Changes

    Hi



    I have modified the desktop services template for use as a basic piece of invoicing software.

    I do the invoices monthly and had no problems last month.

    I started doing the invoices today. It allows me to enter data into the form and view the invoice. However several fields which rely on expressions are coming up as #Name? and also the email and create pdf buttons on the invoice no longer work. As I said above all this worked fine a month a go and I have made no changes since. I have double checked all expressions and the email sender macro settings against a working old copy I have for the database and have found no discrepancies. I am however not fully familiar with the workings of the database - the downside of using a template!

    I could revert to using the old template but its 60 invoices out of date!

    I have attached the database for reference

    Thanks

    This is not the desktop version - it is web version. Do you need web?

    I opened the invoice report by click on Invoice # on Main form then clicked View Invoice - no #Name? errors. Save as PDF worked. Did not try email.

    I tried creating new invoice record. The invoice # field shows [...] - odd but no #Name? errors.
