Strange error ( need help )



hi guys, when one of our users tries to print a specific report he gets this error come up :The record source 'qry_MoreDetails' specified on this form or report does
not exist.
but malcolm who sits next to him and works on the same database does not have the issue at all..... any ideas?

RE: strange error ( need help )

Hi Danny, thanks for your query. Difficult to advise without having a look at the structure of your database, but this error has been known to start appearing when there are Lookups involved in the creation of a recordset. Best guess is that there is a broken link somewhere along the line. You need to reverse engineer how qry_MoreDetails is being created and if it is a Lookup delete it out and put it back in again, and if the Lookup is in a table itself definitely take it out and perform the Lookup on a form. Lookups in tables are of course technically possible but can cause odd problems like the one you are encountering.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Access tip:

Copy a Previous Record's Values to a New Record

If you often enter the same value in one field of a table, there are two methods to save re-typing the data.

1. Use Ctrl+' (apostrophe) to repeat the value input in the previous record.

2. Change the field's DefaultValue property in Design View to the most commonly used value.
