Designing new database... when creating text box, getting "error" appearing
as #Name?.  if text is able to be written in this box, the entry appears on
ALL pages in the database.  How do I correct this issue?

If you are getting #name that means the database cannot find the source for
that textbox. Make sure it has a source on a table or query then right click
on the texbox and in properties check the record source to see if it is
correct.

The textbox needs to be bound to a table field.

Are you perhaps making the rather common error of creating a Form first?
Don't. Forms are *just tools*, windows onto the data in Tables. You must
create and properly relate your tables first, and *then* base forms on those
Tables.
