Error Message in Query: Too Many Fields Defined

Hey I'm gettitng the following error message: Too Many Fields Defined. But I only have 6 fields in the query. I created a query based off of 2 others which are in turn based off 2 others. I spereated them out so that I oculd avoid this message. Now that I'm finally at the end and about to be done, I get this error. Any help/sugegstions? (the errors pops up noo matter how I change the join propz)

Only 6 fields and this error it's a big surprise!!!

Do U use a circular query? query that refers to a query that gets the results from the current one?

Maybe this can be a reason!

Can you describe all queries that participate here and their fields?

This can happen if you don't compact and repair your database on close. See Tools - Options and in the General tab click Compact on Close.

Access has a habit of retaining your query choices in memory this should clear it.
