properties error in the field in the form

[Janis]

I just created a form. On the fields there must be an error in the
properties. I can't type in the field and I have the #name? error and the
#error Error. It looks like I connected the fields to the underlying table
correctly so what should I check?



=Employees!Emp_ID
=Employees!FirstName
=[Salary]

thanks,

If the fields are bound to textboxes on the form, you do not need to use a
reference to the underlying table or query.

Emp_ID
FirstName
Salary

should be all you need in the controlname property.

I'm trying to bind the field to the table. It doesn't seem to work. I try
binding it to the table and also I tried binding it to the fields listed in
the form. neither one works. What else could I try? It says "control can't
be edited it is bound to an unknown field emp_ID"
thanks,

The form wasn't bound to the table, now it is thanks,
