invalid value problem

[Guest]

Every time I open my main data entry form, I get the message (the value
entered isn't valid for this field). I also get this message when viewing
any of the entries in that form. I know what this message means, but I can't
find where the problem is. The form has 2 subforms and I don't see a problem
with any of them. This just started happening recently.
thanks

Does you gets this when you open the table, or just the forms?

Any new changes to the form? Did ya copy and paste any dater into the form
recently?

Sounds like there is an inappropriate Default Value property for some
control on one of the three forms. Doublecheck the Default Value and
Control Source properties - pay special attention to any Lookup Fields
which will require a number (the concealed ID) as a default rather
than a text value.
