This error occurs when Access can't match the name of the
procedure with the name of any control. Is your command
button named "new_entry"? If it's only newentry, remove
the extra underscore, and it should compile.

Click to expand...

You probably already have existing code with the same name.

When you delete a command button that has attached code, the button is
deleted but the code is not. If you then add another button with the
same name, you now have 2 click events with the same name and Access
gives you that "ambiguous name" error.
Delete the previous code.
