Tips to repair Form in MS Access database

Forms created in Microsoft Access database allow the database users to enter data directly into the MS Access tables. Furthermore, you can delete and modify the records from MS Access table using these forms. While these forms can be easily opened and closed after making the required changes, an error message might occur while you are attempt to open a form after modifying the query name or table name. This error message makes the Form inaccessible and does not allow the user to make any further changes in MS Access tables using that Form. To overcome such situations, an ideal way is to restore the Form from an updated backup. However, if no backup is available or backup falls short to restore the required Form, then you will need to use advanced access recovery software.

Consider a practical scenario, where experience one of the following problems when you attempt to open your Finance Form after changing the field name, query name, or table name:

"The field on the form shows #Name?"

Or

"You are prompted for the old field name."

Or

You encounter the below error message:

"The Microsoft JET Database Engine could not find the input table or query ''. Make sure it exists and the name is spelled correctly."

Cause:

Few main causes for the above behavior are discussed below:

Your Form consists of a SQL Select statement in the record source, and the field name that you changed is referred to in the ControlSource property of the Form.

The field name that you modified is referred to in the OrderBy or Filter property of the your Form.

When you converted your Form from an earlier version of MS Access, the Track Name AutoCorrect option was disabled.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and access the Finance Form, you will need to refer to the new field name, query table, or table name. However, if the above resolution fails to provide access to Finance Form, then you will need to use advanced Access Recovery software. These Access Database Repair applications use advanced scanning methods to scan and recover MS Access database components. Built with interactive user-interface, these utilities are easy to implement without any prior database recovery experience.
