Kevin,

This is due to one of your fields on the form looking for a certain field (rowsource / controlsource) but it's unable to find it. Seems like it may be your rowsource. I think you may need to omit the quotes from Rowsource="&searchstr". Otherwise, try to replace "&searchstring" with a field you know exists to start with and then work from there.
