ACC1x: OpenTable Action Argument Does Not List Attached Tables

ID: Q95925

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS

One of the macro action arguments for the OpenTable action is Table Name. In the Action Arguments section of the Macro window, the list of arguments for Table Name includes the tables in the current database, but none of the attached tables are listed.

RESOLUTION

To use an attached table with the OpenTable macro action, you must manually type the attached table name. Or, you can drag the attached table from the Database window to the Table Name argument.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.
