Control Source changing randomly

R

RBesdansky

I have a listbox whose RowSource includes a reference to a "MemberID" control
on the same form. I have another form based on the same table as the first
form. The second form also has a control called MemberID. I find that the
reference to the MemberID control in the list box's row source is changed by
Access to the name of the MemberID control on the other form. So, without me
doing anything, the list box criteria changes from

[Forms]![frmMemberMain]![MemberID]

to

[Forms]![frmMemberDemographics]![MemberID]

Has anybody else had this problem?
Thanks

If it really did change like that, you might like to turn off the Name
AutoCorrect property.

In Access 2000, 2002, and 2003, its:
Tools | Options | General | Name AutoCorrect
In Access 2007, it's:
Office Button | Access Options | Current Database | Name AutoCorrect

Thanks Allen. That seems to have fixed the problem.
