Looks to me as your prefixing the field names with the report name has
got it thinking you are referring to the controls of the same name. So
YES, change the names of the controls if they are there. And if you
are referring to fields in the underlying query you don't need
anything except the field names themselves, probably in square
brackets since they have embedded spaces in the names.
