Problem:
This problem occurs in a new Access 2003 database with objects imported from
another Access 2003 database which was once converted from a previous
version.
This problem does not occur in the original (converted) Access 2003
database.
The problem occurs in all queries (approx. 80) that have two particular
tables linked by three joins (ie table with a 3-part compound key). When any
of these queries are opened in design view an error is displayed (see
attachment). On accepting the error the query opens in design view and one
particular join has been removed (the import routine also removes the same
join).
When running one of the queries which contains this 'error', the query runs
without a problem and returns the correct data.
Creating new fields in both tables and recreating the join does not resolve
the problem, it saves okay, then displays the error message the next time
the query is opened in design view.
Additional Info:
Importing all tables, forms, etc., but not queries from the current database
to the older (converted) database, the database works fine.
However, when importing the queries from the older (converted) database to
the current database the third joins are removed (without any warnings).
This error occurs when the join links two identical fields (numeric or
text).
This error sounds similar to KB articles 207868 (Access 2000) and 161861
(Access 97), but the SQL view does not the have extra parentheses, nor were
the queries created using the wizard.
'Compact and Repair Database' does not cure the problem, nor remove the
third join - the error is still displayed the next time the query is opened
in design view.
A screenshot of the error is available at
