May Not Receive Error Message with Invalid Query (108061)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel for Windows 95
- Microsoft Excel for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh 5.0
- Microsoft Query
This article was previously published under Q108061 SUMMARY
In the versions of Microsoft Query listed at the beginning of this article,
when a query contains multiple errors, you will receive only one error
message at a time. For example, suppose you enter the following SELECT
statement
SELECT Customer.BadField, BadFunction() FROM customer
where BadField refers to a field that does not exist in the Customer table
and BadFunction refers to an undefined function in the database.
The first time you run this statement in Microsoft Query, you will only
receive one error message stating that the function is undefined. Once you
fix this error and run the query again, Microsoft Query will then return a
second error referring to the invalid field name.
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is by design. Microsoft Query only returns one error
message at a time when it is parsing the SQL statement being executed.
