Question
I have a table called “tbl_DIN18273”. In the form, some data are entered to compare the values with the data in this table. If one or more items are out of requirement, then warning information will be given.
I wrote a procedure like below, when I run this command, computer does recognize the table “tbl_DIN18273”, Could you correct it for me? Thank you very much!

Private Sub Command106_Click()

MsgBox prompt:="Si is out of spec."

Answer
Hi

This is quite a complex statement and is difficult for me to debug.

If the error message is that the table is not recognised is that the name is wrong.

If this is not true, then a component of your statement is wrong.

Without you breaking it out I'm struggling to identify the problem.
