ACC2000: "Couldn't Find Input Table or Query" Error Message
This article was previously published under Q209661
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
When you run a query, you may receive the following error message:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'Table1'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
When you open the query in Design view, the field list is empty, but the
query grid still refers to deleted tables or fields.
The query will continue to refer to the deleted table or fields so that you
can determine what was deleted.
Modify your query so that it refers to tables or fields that do exist.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Create a new table with one field. Save the table as Table1.
- Create a new query based on Table1. Drag the field from the field
list to the query grid.
- Save the query as Query1.
- In the Database window, delete Table1.
- Open Query1. Note that you receive the error message:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'Table1'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
- Open the query in Design view. Note that although the field list is
empty, the query grid still refers to the deleted table and field.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Access 2000 Standard Edition
