Item not found -table name issue

[Pele]

Somebody had helped me put together a VB code to add some textboxes from a
form to a table. Anyway, I get an error message when the code reaches the
first line of the code below; a message pops up and says "Item not found". I
am convnced it has to do with the spaces in the name of the table referred to
in the code. Can somebody tell me how to use a table name that has spaces in
a code. It is not an option for me to change the table name; I have to find a
way to let the code recognize the table name.

Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Head count extra time tbl")
With rst
For i = SW To EW
' Add new record.
.AddNew
!hc_id = varHDCT
!Week = i
![Meetings and training st] = Me.ST 'ub =
unbound
![Meetings and training ot] = Me.OT
![Unscheduled OT] = Me.Unsched_OT
'save the record
.Update
Next
End With

Pele,

The way you have entered the table is correct.

Try just copying the table name from the database window and pasting it
between the
quotation marks. I've found that sometimes I might put two spaces where I
meant to
put one, and many times I can't notice unless I find the double spacing in
the VB editor.

If the above suggestion does not work, does the table reside in the current
database or is it being linked from another database? And how have you
declared 'rst'?

Hopefully it is a simple fix, if not then maybe we can get to the bottom of
this.

Nick,

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at this question. I copied and
pasted the name of the table and it still did not work. Anyway, below is the
complete code that somebody had given me. Let me know what you can find.
