Linked Table - Query Table List Missing Fields?
Hi, I have a Access 2003 mdb that I have used for years that has worked
OK. Recently one of my queries malfunctioned to an external Progress db's linked table. Specifically, the query's table list is missing many of the fields in the table though when I inspect the linked table in the Tables Objects Section I see all the fields. How can I fix my query? TIA, Dan |

Linked Table - Query Table List Missing Fields?
Why post the same question in different newsgroups? (already answered in the
other newsgroups you posted in). If your situation is one of the (few) unusual circumstances in which it is necessary/appropriate to post in more than one 'group, please post once, 'naming' all the 'groups in the To/Newsgroups line. That way, an answer in one newsgroup shows up in the other ... and the folks who volunteer their time here are stepping on each onther's answers...

First make a backup of the database file and put it away somewhere safe.
Next do a compact and repair. See if that fixes things. If not, drop the linked table and try to re-link it using the Linked Table Manager. -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong.
