When I run a simple UPDATE query (e.g. as follows) that works fine in MS Access 2007 version, I get the pop-up error message "Invalid Argument". Code: UPDATE [Store List] SET [Store List].Manager = "John" WHERE ((([Store List].Manager)="Mike")); The database is well below the 2GB limit. Another weird phenomenon is: when I manually change some values using copy-paste upon the table, the error "Invalid Argument" pops up too; if I ignore it and continue pasting the new values, the update can be done. How to deal with this issue? Thanks in advance. lookingforK View Public Profile Find More Posts by lookingforK 06-24-2013, 12:40 PM #2 SOS Registered Lunatic Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Somewhere between here and there Posts: 3,520 Thanks: 2 Thanked 54 Times in 52 Posts Re: Got pop-up error "Invalid Argument" when using UPDATE query in MS Access 2010 It may not be that query that is causing the problem. It may be something else. Go to the VB Window and to DEBUG > COMPILE and see if any errors show up. If so, fix and do it again until there are none. Sometimes the errors that Access reports have nothing to do with the actual problem.
