I upgraded to Office 2000 and now when I try to produce
labels from the database the name field shows up as #Error
no matter what I do. All other fields are fine. Any
ideas I would be grateful.
 
Hi Linda,

My name is Dennis Schmidt. Thank you for using the Microsoft Newsgroups.

I believe that your problem is caused by the actual name of your "Name"
field. The word "name" is a reserved word in Access 2000 (actually was in
Acc97 but not enforced). That means that you cannot have a field called
"Name" You can rename it to something like MyName, FullName, LastName, etc.

If you start by renaming the field in your table, you will then also need
to look at your queries, forms and reports (labels) to change the name of
the field in those objects also.

You should also be aware of the following potential problem covered by a
Knowledge Base article:

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
