Default Invalid Argument

I am getting a message "Invalid Argument" when I run an append query. Both
tables have the same settings. The table I am appending to is empty. I have
run this same append query many times before without an issue. Does anyone
have a suggestion of how I might trouble shoot the issue?

Note sure what you are saying.. Seems a little foreign?

Correct the error in the query.

If you would like help doing so please open it in SQL view and post it here.
Also indicate what version you're using, and if you're running the query from
code, post the code (Invalid Argument sounds more like a VBA or function-call
error rather than a query error).

How large is the MDB to which you are appending? If it's either 1 or
2 Gb depending on if A97 or A2000 and newer you have exceeded the file
size allowed by Access/Jet. You could try compacting it but it may be
too late.

You are correct - I found that it was too large. I was able to compact the
Database. It is a backend database. I will clean it up now.

Thanks

Oh, good catch, Tony!! I knew that Access gave wierd and offtopic error
messages when this happens but I didn't realize that this was one of them.
Filed away for future reference!

Yeah, I'm trying to recall all of them myself. Or is this the only
applicable message?

I decided I wanted to see if MS had given this message a better name
in A2007 ACCDE/ACE. Sure takes a while to get to 2 Gb.
