ID: Q216218

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access 2000

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

This article applies only to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb).

SYMPTOMS

If you use the Upsizing Wizard to upsize tables in a Microsoft Access database in which any table or query name contains an apostrophe ('), none of the tables are upsized.

RESOLUTION

Change the name of the table or query so that it does not have an apostrophe and repeat the upsizing process.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

In Windows Explorer, make a copy of the sample database Northwind.mdb. Name the new database NWTest.mdb.

Open NWTest.mdb and add an apostrophe to the name of any query. For example, change:
Sales by Year
to:

Sales by Year'

On the Tools menu, point to Database Utilities, and then click Upsizing Wizard.

On the first screen of the Upsizing Wizard, select Create New database, and then click Next.

On the next screen, provide the name of a server to which you want to upsize your database, as well as an appropriate Login ID and Password. Use the database name suggested by the wizard. Click Next.

On the following screen, where you choose the tables that you want to upsize, click the double-arrow button >>. After doing so, note that all tables are included in the list of objects to be upsized.

Click Next, and then click Finish.

When the process is finished, the upsizing report appears.

Scroll down the report and note that each table has been skipped.
