SYMPTOMS
Executing a form containing a combo box or list box with the RowSourceType property set to 6 (Fields), returns this error:

Error Loading File - RowSource - Record  "field" phrase not found.



CAUSE
This is caused by incorrect syntax in the list of fields in the RowSource property. The documentation and online Help imply that the correct way to list fields in this property is:   Table1.field1, Table1.field2, Table1.field3, ... This is incorrect. The correct syntax is:   Table1.field1, field2, field3, ... Any deviation from this syntax (using an expression instead of a field name, trying to use fields from multiple or related tables, and so on) results in the same error message.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
