You receive an error message when you run a query that includes a field name that begins with a double-byte Arabic number in Access 2007 or Access 2003
On This Page
SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Office Access 2007 or in Microsoft Office Access 2003, you receive an error message when you run a query that has a field name. This problem occurs if the field name begins with a double-byte Arabic number.
For example, if the field name contains two or more characters, such as
"１Month", you receive the following error message:
Syntax error in query expression ' Table Name .１Month':
Missing operator.
If the field name only contains one character, such as "1",
you receive the following error message:
Invalid use
of '.', '!', or '()' in query expression ' Table Name. '.
In Access 2003, this issue only occurs when you run the query on a Windows
Vista-based computer.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, enclose the field name in
single-byte square brackets ([ ]). For example, change the field name from
１Month to
[１Month].
