Sometimes we feel we have to ask for more information, so we won't spend
time guessing and having to offer multiple answers. Sometimes we just do not
have time and energy to beat around the bush about that. I can give you my
personal guarantee that Duane is not the kind of person to be "nasty" or
unhelpful.
You have to realize that we don't have your database in front of us, so you
have to tell us, in detail, what is there that you are having trouble with
if we are to be able to assist. In fact, you didn't give enough information
that anyone could give you a useful answer, other than "#Name" means Access
doesn't understand the name you gave it.
