Calculation not working in A2007

[Phil]

Hi

I have just moved over to A2007, I have adatabase that worked fine in 2000,
and 2003 on a form in the control source I have the calculation

=[AvailableSpaces]-IIf([Events
Subform].[Form].[RecordsetClone].[RecordCount]=0,0,[Events
Subform].[Form]![Total Attendees])

Which just returns #Name?

As I said this worked fine in 2003, is there any reason it doesnt work now?

Thanks

Phil

"#Name" is Access' way of saying "I don't find anything spelled that way".

This can happen when a reference is mispelled, or leaves something out.

I wonder if you added in the main form's name in front of your "[Events
Subform]..."? Something like:

Forms!YourMainForm![Events Subform]!...

(by the way, the bang ("!") more properly is used for
collections/user-defined objects. You might want to check the syntax...)

Hi Jeff

Thanks for your reply

I tried
=[AvailableSpaces]-IIf([Forms]![Events]![Events
Subform].[Form].[RecordsetClone].[RecordCount]=0,0,[Forms]![Events]![Events
Subform].[Form].[Total Attendees])

Not sure if that was what you meant, but I still get the same result. The
previous worked fine under 2000/2003 it is only 2007 that does not like it??

Thanks

Phil
