List of reserved words in Access 2000This article was previously published under Q209187 Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user
computers. This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a
Microsoft Access project (.adp). For a Microsoft Access 2002 and Access 2003 version
of this article, see
286335
(http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=286335/
)
. This article lists words and symbols that you should not
use in field, object, and variable names because they are "reserved words."
Reserved words have a specific meaning to Microsoft Access or to the Microsoft
Jet database engine. If you use a reserved word or symbol, you may receive an
error such as the following: The wizard was unable to
preview your report, possibly because a table needed by your report is
exclusively locked. For existing objects with names that contain
reserved words, you can avoid errors by surrounding the object name with
brackets ([ ]). Because it is not practical to provide a list of all
reserved words, such as built-in function names or Microsoft Access
user-defined names, please check your product documentation for additional
reserved words. Note that if you set a reference to a type library, an object
library, or an ActiveX control, that library's reserved words are also reserved
words in your database. For example, if you add an ActiveX control to a form, a
reference is set, and the names of the objects, methods, and properties of that
control become reserved words in your database.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
