@dbColumn Error: Cannot execute @db Command

I have created a field on a form. I have set it up to be a combox box, and the choices section is by formula. I want it to pick up a list of employee names from an MS Access table.

When I enter the following forumla,

@DbColumn(“ODBC”;“jodbc”;“”;“Employees”;“EmployeeName”;“Distinct”:“Ascending”)

I get an error in Lotus Notes. “Cannot execute @db command.”

Can anyone help?

thanks,

Rika
