Query too Complex

8 New Member
Hello All! I have an update query that is rather large and I keep getting a "Query is too complex" error. Does anyone know the limitations on update queries for MS Access 2000? I am running on Windows XP. The query has about 95 actions (updates) for approximately 35 tables. Thank you for the info!

Thank you all for your knowledge and information. I did break up the query into many parts. I then added each part to a macro and everything ran fine. I did have to break it down into 30 parts. It was the only way that everything would populate correctly. It appeared that if a field had the same name in different tables it could not be used in the same query even when I specified the table.field name for the specific update. Anyways, it does work now. Thanks again to all!

I'm very pleased to hear that.

I suspect your final situation will be a lot easier to maintain into the future. Well done :)

After applying security patch MS03-031 (Sql server ver 8.00.818) a query that used to execute in under 2 seconds, now takes over 8 Minutes to complete. Any ideas on what the heck might be going on? I have tested this extensively and can say for certain that installing this hot fix is what has caused the performance problem. I just don't know why or how to fix it. Brian Oster

Hi all, Thank you for taking the time. I have a database with 45 tables on it. 44 tables are linked to a main table through a one to one relationship. My question is, is there no way i can have a query that will pull a single field from all the tables. In other words i should have 44 fields. when i try to do that same, i get an error message saying "Query is too complex"

Hi, I'm using the querybuilder when updating a record in a table (Access). However, I get a "Query is too complex" message. The Primary key is autonumbered. Why is it making such a complex update query string in stead of using the primary key? Thanks in advance,

Hello, I have a user request to build a form in an Access database where the user can check off specific fields to pull in a query. For example, let's say I have 10 fields in a table. The user wants to be able to check off anywhere between 1 and all 10 fields in a form and have it return a select query with just the fields that were checked off. There are multiple users, so not all users will be checking off the same fields. Some...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
