You cannot assign value to this object - Error 2448

[tapich]

Hello Developers,

I have this strange runtime exception coming up for an application that has been running fine from 10 years. There is a label(txtlabel) on a report (Report_cell1)i n my Access Db; When the application is trying to assign a value to this label, this error is coming up.

Here is the code part where the exception is coming:

Private Sub GroupHeader0_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
    If Me![LabelsPath] Like "*Mercury*" Then
        Me!txtLabel = "LABELS:  " & Me![LabelsPath] & "\" & Format(Date, "mmddyyyy") & Right(Me![LabelsPath], 27)
    Else
        If IsNull([LabelsPath]) = True Then
        Else
            Me!txtLabel = Me![LabelsPath] & "" <<HERE THE APPLICATION IS FAILING>>
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Can someone please help? Really appreciate any little help.

Thanks,

Tapich

Have you tried to use the label's "Caption" property? For instance,

Me!txtLabel.Caption = "LABELS:  " & Me![LabelsPath] & "\" & Format(Date, "mmddyyyy") & Right(Me![LabelsPath], 27)

Also, to avoid confusion, if this really is a label and not a text box, use "lbl" or some similar prefix for the control name; so, "lblSomeLabelNa me". Usually "txt" denotes a text box.
