After creating labels using the wizard. When label report runs Pop up window
asks for a Trim parameter value.

You may have a problem with library references:

If that doesn't solve it, exactly what does the parameter window ask you
for?

I don't understand.

When you attempt to open the report, a dialog pops up, and the title bar of
the dialog says:
Trim parameter value.

I've no idea what's going on with your report.

 

[Tebenton]

The top of the dialog in the blue bar next to ? X States Enter Parameter Value
Below that in the dialog box TRIM
Below that is the area to enter whatever it is asking for.

In the properties for the label, what is entered for the Name, the Caption, the
ControlTip Text, and the Help Context Id?

Trim() is a function that chops off any leading and trailing spaces.

The label wizard uses this function in the Control Source of the text boxes,
around expressions like this:
=Trim([FirstName] & " " & [Lastname])

If the report asks for just Trim, then the possibilities that come to mind
are:
a) You have a problem with library references;

b) The Control Source of a text box has been messed up, e.g. the expression
above is now just:
=Trim

I created the database at the office. Seems there is a reference to the
server address. I made another database at this computer & all works
correctly. How do I get a database created elsewhere to work at this
location. I want to develop the program from both sites?

Chuck, thank you I created the database at the office & there is a reference
problem to a server location. I have created a test database at home & all
the trim functions work correctly. How do I get a database created elsewhere
to work at a another computer that is not networked. I want to develop the
program working from both sites.

You have a problem with library references.

Please go back to the first reply you received, and follow the steps in the
article to rectify it.

I have nothing further to add to this thread.
