Can't find control

When launching a report, I'm getting an error concerning a reference to a
non-existent control. The bound query runs fine on it's own, so the problem
is in the report. I can't find that control anywhere that is causing the
problem. I've even looked in the sorting and groupings, which has been the
cause of this problem to me in the past. It is referring to a field which I
deleted. There must be another one of the same somewhere. Is there an easy
way to search for a control name somewhere within a report or form? Please
let me know.
 
Open the form mor report in design view. Look in the drop down list at the
far left of the toolbar at the top of the screen. If you find the control in
question, select it in the list and it will become selected on the form or
report. Also keep in mind that controls are referenced by their name and not
control source. They may or may not be the same!
 
Did you delete the field in the table ?
If so, is your report based on a query that is still looking for that field
?
If so, delete the field from the query.
