Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

SUMMARY

The "RecordSource Property" topic in the Microsoft Access 97 Help system contains a syntax error. The example in the "Sample setting" section of the Help topic reads as follows:
SELECT Orders!OrderDate FROM Orders;
This is incorrect.

The correct syntax for this example is:
SELECT Orders.OrderDate FROM Orders;
Note that the correct syntax uses a period (.) after "Orders" instead of an exclamation point (!).

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
