Item not found in this collection. (Error 3265)

Applies to: Access 2013 | Access 2016

An attempt to reference a name in a collection failed.

Possible causes:

  • The object does not exist in this collection. Make sure the object is appended to a collection before referencing it.

  • There is more than one object with this name in the collection; using its name is an ambiguous reference. Reference the object by its ordinal position in the collection (for example, Recordsets(3)).
