From: agarwasa2008 on 2 Jul 2008 14:16 Hi, I have a linked table called tbltest and some bounded forms (which add, update, delete records) that were created using that linked table. For some necessary reasons I had to create another linked table called tblComponents and then I bounded the original forms to this new table. I did change the control source: Description (Field name) RowSource Type: Table/Query (which remains the same) Row Source: Select Distinct [tblComponents].[Description] from tblComponents where ((([tblComponents].[Description] is not Null)); Basically for the RowSource I changed the tbltest to tblComponents. But now when I run the form it gives the following error: THe Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'tbltest'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly. The bounded forms control were created using the wizard. Is there a way to fix this problem without creating the form with the various controls again from scratch. Thanks for any fixes/ideas. SA

Open up the form in design mode and open the form's property sheet. Press the Data tab. Click the ... to see if the recordsource uses tblTest. Freestyler http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFjlB_O1WpI

I need to change the recordSource but I do not see that property name in the data tab.

The controls; combos, listbox, textbox, labels...they have a property sheet as well. The recordsource is the recordset associated with the entire form. So if the form's recordsource is using an invalid table, you need to open the property sheet of the form. Open up the propertysheet for anything and press on the square box in the upper left hand corner of the form window to get it. I'm a bit confused with your question. A combo box is good for lookups and storing some to a field in the table. |
