'Invalid argument' error

[mscertified]

I'm getting 'Invalid argument' error trying to save this query. User claims
it ran fine until last Friday. Can anyone see a problem with the syntax? How
do you debug this type of thing? I removed the WHERE and ORDER BY and still
get the error, so it appears to be in the SELECT.
The query reads several tables via ODBC but I can open all the tables ok
independently of this query.
The database is around 2.5 meg in size if that could be a factor.
Any clues appreciated!

hi,

This is the error message of choice MS Access uses when the database size
exceeds anything over 2.00MB.
Try compacting and repairing the database, splitting the front end from the
backend (if you haven't already done so).

Hope this helps,
