Prev: Access Labels Maker Doesn't Work

Can anyone help please, I would like to get an answer to the problem before
Microsoft close down the Forum.

This is the message I posted earlier, for the full background to this,
please read my post (and Ken Sherien's kind answers) titled "Sub Forms" dated
18 May 2010.

Hi Ken
Access bing Access, I was probably a little premature in my excitement at
getting the thing to work.
I now have a dialogue box that pops up as Access is first opening up and
prior to the first screen being displayed saying :-

"The exprexssion is typed incorrectly or is too complicated, For example, a
numeric expression may containtoo many complicated elemements. Try
simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables."

If I OK that dialogue box, the first forms opens up and the database seems
to work OK from there on in.
Incidentally, if I completely remove the "Text Boxes" and the Dlookup
formula that you suggest, I still get the error message on opening.
Could you throw any light on the reason for this?

If you hit CTRL-BREAK when the dialog box pops up, it may take you to where
the error is. Otherwise you will have to insert messages into your code to
trace where the error is occuring. It could be in a query, in code or perhaps
in a form. You could start eliminating things and when it goes away you know
it was in what you last removed. Sorry to be of not more help but I know
nothing of your application.
