Syntax error in FROM clause

I am assisting a customer using Access 2000 on a Windows
2000 system. She made a form with the form wizard and
claims she only added some labels and moved items around
on the form. Now when trying to view the form she gets
a "Syntax error in FROM clause" and is unable to view the
form except in design view. Can anyone think of what she
may have done to cause this error?
TIA
George
 
While the form is open in design view, click on Properties window, (be sure
Form is the name in the upper left hand corner combo box), and click on Data
tab. Click into the box next to Record Source and copy all the text that is
there. Post it here so we can see it.
 
I click on the ... box and get the error Syntax error in
FROM clause. The listed information copied from the box
is: SELECT [Contact Information].[Site Name], [Contact
Information].[Location], [Contact Information].[Well ID or
Name], [Contact Information].[Date], [Contact Information].
[Point of Contact], [Contact Information].[Address],
[Contact Information].[Fax], [Contact Information].

[Alternate Point of Contact], [Contact Information].

[Table1].[Suspended Solids], [Table1].[TOC] FROM Table1
INNER JOIN ([Site Specific] INNER JOIN
Maybe this is just too much stuff?
Thank you for your assistance...

It appears that the maximum length of the SQL statement has been reached.
The statement that you've posted is not complete, and "ends" in the middle
of the FROM clause. So yes I would assume that that is the source of the
problem.

You'll need to create a query that selects the correct fields and records,
save and store it, and then use that query as the recordsource for the form.
