To resolve this problem and keep the same field name:
- Create a query that is based on the table (for an .mdb). For an .adp, create a view that is based on the table.
- Create an alias for the Name field.
- To re-use the previously created report, open the label report in Design view. On the report's Data tab, change the record source to the query that you created in step 1, and then change the ControlSource property of the text box so that it refers to the alias instead of to the field name.
- To use a new report, run the Label Report Wizard and base the new report on the query that you created in step 1.
For this .mdb example, create a query that is based on the Customers table. Create an alias (FullName) for the
Name field. The following is the query syntax:
SELECT Customers.Name AS Fullname
FROM Customers;
