Article ID: 924739

Article Last Modified on 12/4/2007



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Office Access 2007
  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0



SYMPTOMS

You try to add an existing Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 list to a Microsoft Office Access 2007 database. When the Windows SharePoint Services list contains a column name that has more than 64 characters, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

You do not have the necessary permissions to use the '<ListName>' object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you.

Note The term "column name" is what you see in the SharePoint user interface. Colum name is the column’s display name.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Access 2007 database engine disallows columns that have names that contain more than 64 characters.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use only column names that contain less than 64 characters in Windows SharePoint Services lists.
