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



SYMPTOMS
When you run a query, you may receive the following error message:

Couldn't find input table or query ''

When you open the query in Design view, the field list is empty, but the query grid still refers to deleted tables or fields.



CAUSE
The query will continue to refer to the deleted table or fields so that you can determine what was deleted.



RESOLUTION
Modify your query so that it refers to tables or fields that do exist.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



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.</li> Open Query1. Note that you receive the error message:

Couldn't find input table or query 'Table1'

</li> Open the query in Design view. Note that although the field list is empty in the Table, the query grid still refers to the deleted table and field.</li></ol>

Additional query words: couldn t find input table or query
