When trying to modify the design of a select query I am
getting the "Microsoft Access has encountered a problem
and needs to close" message. This is a select query based
on a single table. The table is fairly large, and there
are several IF tests in the query, but the database itself
is not large enough to cause a problem.

The error is happening on a workstation (PIII - 866 MH)
running WinXP Pro, SP1 and Access 2002, but the error also
appears when I try running the query on our server (P4 -
2.8 GH and plenty of memory). I tried doing a compact and
repair on the database, to no effect. Any ideas?
 
Probably a Name AutoCorrect issue. See:
Failures caused by Name Auto-Correct
at:
http://allenbrowne.com/bug-03.html
particularly the list of issues under "queries".

If that does not solve the issue, make sure have Service Pack 3 for Office
XP, and also Service Pack 8 for JET 4. Both can be found in the Downloads
section at support.microsoft.com
