SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Query, when you use the mouse to size a column heading in the Data pane, you may receive an Illegal Operation error message. If you click Details, a message similar to the following is displayed:

MSQRY32 caused an invalid page fault in module MSQRY32.EXE at 0137:00432181



CAUSE
This problem occurs if you size a column heading in the Data pane before you add any fields to the query. For example, this problem occurs when you create a new query, do not add a table to the query, and you then use the mouse to size the empty column heading that appears by default in the Data pane.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, add a field to your query in the Data pane before you size a column heading.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
