I am making a pretty simple relational database with access and have found that many of the causes of my problems is that I am not closing down access and then re-opening the file after making certain changes.
For example, I just changed the fields of a form from Client Title, Forename and Surname into a field related to a query called Client Name which just combines all of the above into a single field.
When I first viewed this in the form all it was showing was "#NAME?"
I couldn't understand why. However because I have noticed this restart issue before with other changes I have made, I restarted the DB and all worked perfectly. Am I meant to be doing this or is there something wrong with my installation?
