Default how to get rid of #Name? after copy and paste between forms

Hi, I am a novice with Access, so this is probably an easy question:
I created one form using the wizard, but then decided to creat another
version of the form using design view. I copied and pasted all my text boxes
from the first form into the new "design view" form, but the new form doesn't
seem to recognize where the control sources are coming from. I get "#Name?"
in all the fields and I don't know how to fix this. Help please. :-)

Open the form in design view, right click, scroll down and select Properties.
Check if the form source is valid.
Check field list names match the text box sources.
