Error when going to Print Preview in Access 2003 Report

C

Contract Clerical

I have opened a report and attempted to add a new text box to the bottom of
the report. When I try to preview the report i receive the following message.

" is not a valid name. make sure that it does not include invalid characters
or punctuation and that it is not too long.

The database was previously working just fine before trying to add a page to
this report. I have changed to column size in Page Set-up, no luck. There
are no " or ' in the file name. I just added a text box. The text is rather
wordy, but if there is a max size to a text box that is a new one for me.

Please help.

Contract Clerical,

Well, let's start with... can you open the RecordSource of the report with
no errors? Also, what is the name of the text box you added, what is it's
control source of the text box and what is the field size?
