Invalid Argument Error

Guest · Jan 20, 2005

I am using Access 2002. I am trying to eliminate duplicate records. When I
try to copy and paste my table structure, I am getting an "Invalid Argument"
error. I have actually been receiving this error in a few different places
with this database. Could it have anything to do with the size of the
database (approx. 3.4 million records)? Please help!

Frustrated in Irvine.

The message probably indicates a corruption.

Try the steps for the first symptom in this article:

The size of the table should not be an issue, though you might consider
compacting the database, and you will need lots of free disk space.
