I thought I was done with my database, everything was working great, but after going into the query that my subform is based on and simply changing a field from ascending to descending, then closing that and trying to open my form, I got the "query is too complex" error and then everthing went south. Access closed itself and the file was unrecoverable. Luckily I had saved this file with 2 other backups! I tested again. Everything works fine in the form if I don't touch anything else, but just by opening and closing the query (without trying to change anything), the same "too complex scenario" happens again.
The query has 13 fields, with 8 of them having had criteria similar to this typed in them:
[Forms]![frmRevisionAudi t]![cboRevisionAudi t] Or [Forms]![frmRevisionAudi t]![cboRevisionAudi t] Is Null.
One of the fields had the criteria [Forms]![frmRevisionAudi t]![cboYear] Or [Forms]![frmRevisionAudi t]![cboYear] = "All".
Once I close this, if I open it back up, the query has restructured itself by filling the rows with every possible combination of criteria to return my results to the main form based on 7 combo box filters.
Is there a way for me to word this or structure this differently or use different phrasing to get my desired results without bloating my query sql a mile long?
I really appreciate any help or suggestions. I'm still an amateur at Access and am fully willing to be called a dunderhead if this is a common mistake to avoid. :) I only care about learning, improving, and getting to the final working end result.
Thanks so much!

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

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.

There is something very strange going on here. Tested with ADO 2.7 and

You have a simple SQL query, let's say

Now, let's write a simple VB program to do this query back to an

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

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...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
