I have this error message in my report #name? Can anyone
tell me what it is because it is driving me up the wall!
 
It sounds like the field you are referencing forgot its
name. Has it been hit on the head recently?
 
Sorry about that, just a little humor.

Seriously though, Im not expert, but I can think of two
possible reasons.

1) the field is not large enough to hold the resulting #,
or
2) you are referencing a form field, but the form is
being closed before the report is being printed.

Hope that helps a little
 
Do you have something like:

List
Name: MyFieldName
Control Source: = 5 * MyFieldName

If you do, Access is confused as to what you want. Do you want to control or the field?
Try changing the control name to txtMyFieldName.

Or you have mistyped the Control Source and therefore Access doesn't know what
you want.
