On further playing it was the ∆ in the control name that causes the error.

Found the problem. This application is for gathering and reporting on the chemistry in a water plant. The client gave me an excel file of the data they collect. I linked to the file and created a table from it. One of the fields had the character ∆ in the name. That is what was causing the problem. Thanks to your questions I took out half the fields and then started adding them back until I got the error. Good to have some outside thoughts.

This form has never worked. I am thinking it has something to do with the number of fields in the data source or on the form. Will see what happens as I add more and more fields to the form.

Was it working before and now it's not -- for no apparent reason.
