I am running a simple make table qry and access 07 seems to hang. If I run
the same qry as a select qry it runs fine. Have compacted and repaired and
used jetcomp, nothing is making it work.

Volume of records is small. Any ideas? Thanks

When it hangs, do an Alt + Tab and see what applications are running in the
background. It's possible that an error message requiring a decision by you
is hiding behind the Access window.

A Windows button + M might also show the error message.

Thanks, there is nothing the way I see it not responding is when I go to the
task mgr. This is so frustrating.

I don't trust the Not Responding in Task Manager. Same goes when you check
Processes there and see 90% to 100% cpu being used by Access.

Maybe post the SQL for the Select and Make Table queries. That might provide
a hint to the problem.

Here it is...

As you can see it is VERY elementary...not sure why it works in select but
not make table..

SELECT MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.ASSOC_ID, MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.YYYYMM,
MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.FIRST_NAME, MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.MIDDLE_NAME,
MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.LAST_NAME, MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.STATUS_CODE,
MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.JOB_DESC, MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.HIERARCHY_POINT_CODE,
MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.LEVEL_9_HIERARCHY_DESC, MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.PERSON_NUMBER,
MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.JOB_CODE INTO Tbl_MIS_ASSOCIATE_HISTORY
FROM MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST
WHERE (((MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.YYYYMM)=[Prior Month Date YYYYMM]) AND (
(MIS_ASSOCIATE_HIST.STATUS_CODE)="A"));

Is your 07 screen showing a "Security Warning - Some content has been
disabled" then a square with the word 'Options' in it?
Click the square and then click on 'Enable this content' and 'OK'.

Nope, this really is a mystery....I have the security warning set not to ask
in the options. SO that isn't it....Not really sure what it is...so
frustrating!

Thanks!

Dang. I thougth that Karl might have nailed it.

Grasping at straws here:

Make sure that there isn't already a Tbl_MIS_ASSOCIATE_HISTORY table.

Try running it without the Where Clause / criteria.

Make sure that your database file isn't close to the 2GB file size limit.

Do a Compact and Repair. This could bring the file size down if that's even
a problem and maybe fix an internal problem preventing the Make Table from
working.

Try creating a new database file and importing everything from it. Then run
the query.

Make sure that you have Read/Write/Create/Delete privileges to both the
database file and the folder where it's located. (Really grasping as straws
with this one).

Thanks everyone!!!!

I defraged my pc, and did all the things suggested below. Including rebooting
my cable. It worked, but again, not really sure which of the 1000's things I
did fixed it!!

Thanks again, PC are great when they work...when they don't ARGH...

Have a great weekend!

I am running a simple make table qry and access 07 seems to hang.
If I run the same qry as a select qry it runs fine.

Have you run the SELECT and hit the last record button? How long
does it take before you get a recordcount?

Laura1 via AccessMonster.com

Yes, it came back in seconds. There aren't a lot of records. Like I said, I
some how fixed it.

Thanks again!
