Error problem

Hi,
I have built a small database and have incorporated a number of large
forms with multiple textboxes,listboxes,comboboxes etc. On completion it was
pointed out to me that I had mispelled one of the key fields in the main
table, and I set about finding any instances and editing them to the correct
spelling. Now when I open the main form a small error pops up first with
"Enter value" on it. If I cancel it the error goes away untill the next time
I open the form.

How do I search for the source of this problem and correct it. Is there some
way of searching for the incorrect spelling and finding any instances of it.
At present its more of an irritation than a reall problem, but I would like
to fix it. Tia, John

Sounds like your form is using a query that is asking for a parameter.
This could be the query for the form.recordsource, or one of the
listboxes, comboboxes, subforms.

Late versions of Access have their own built-in "Track name changes" (under
the Tools-Options menu) but most developers elect to turn it off and use a
third-party tool; my favorite:

Find & Replace -shareware http://www.rickworld.com

Is the recordsource of the form a query? If so take a look at that
query and see what fields it's keying on. Perhaps one of those needs
updating.

treat. Give yerselves a round of applause, and thanks loads.
