Hi
I seem to be getting nowhere with this. I am opening a form which will
be used to input Notes into different fields in a table. My problem is
changing the unbound field name to the field name in the associated table
that this form is based on.
Is there anyway I can do this with vba ? I am using a different button
object to open this form for the field it is to update.
button1 updates unbound field name from text1 to 101Commnets
button2 updates field name from text1 to 102Comments
etc
I have just realised that I will have to return the field name back to text1
again on completion of task
Thanks in advance for any help at all

Can I ask "Why?" What you're describing doesn't sound like a particular
useful thing to do!
All you have to do is open the form in design mode, and change the Name
property of the control. Note that this means you can't do it from within
the form, but from another form.
DoCmd.OpenForm "MyOtherFor m", acDesign
Forms("MyOtherF orm").Controls( "Text1").Na me = "101Comment s"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "MyOtherFor m", acSaveYes

The reason for this is that I have had to create a form with a set of 80
date fields x 2 and also I need a notes field for each pair of date fields.
With the other fields required and the number of records possibly growing to
a couple of thousand I split the 3 fields into different tables. The notes
table therefore has 80 memo fields x possibly 2000 records.
I thought this was the way to go since I would have exceeded the number of
allowed fields in one table. Its been a headache from the start and I am
wondering now if I have done the right thing
Thanks

This worked in changing the field name but it was the control name that
I wanted to change, sorry my mistake.

My code changes the name of the control:
Forms("MyOtherF orm").Controls( "Text1").Na me = "101Comment s"
Are you saying that you want to bind the control to a different field? To do
that, you'd set the control's ControlSource, not its Name.
