The primary reason behind the occurrence of the aforementioned error message is that the Access database file nears 2 GB in size. Now that we have come to know about the cause behind the occurrence of the aforementioned error message, let’s focus on the resolution part. In order to resolve the aforementioned error message, you must try to reduce the Access database file size.

6.1 - Error messages related to SQL or Access Problem: I have been using PROMODAG Reports for months without any problem and I now obtain various 'Invalid argument' error messages when attempting to import data, or run reports. What is happening? Explanation: You are using an Access database, and Microsoft set the size limitation of *.mdb files to 2 GB. Please make sure that you are not about to reach that physical limit; in that case, the database may be trying to expand beyond 2 GB due to temporary http://www.repairaccessdatabase.org/blog/resolving-the-invalid-argument-error-message-in-access/ tables created by PROMODAG Reports while it generates reports. See also: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835416 Solution: Please attempt to delete a few data imports (if this is still possible)as follows: Go to File > Import Message Tracking Data, select your Exchange server in the right pane, then click the Server Properties button. A new window opens. In the Message Trackingtab, select the most recent http://portal.promodag.com/kb/a10182/access-database-i-receive-various-invalid-argument-error-messages-when-attempting.aspx tracking filein the list. Click the Delete button. If it works, delete the next one... Once you have cleared 5 or 6 of those data imports, go to File > Database Properties and try to compact the database. Should you need to purge more records, use the Tools > Purge Message Tracking Data option as it is explained in this article: How to manually purge data from your database.

The names of Access 2010 tables can be no longer than 64 characters. If strTableName is not null and has fewer than 64 characters, the above code will work perfectly. share|improve this answer edited Feb 26 '14 at 14:57 answered Feb 25 '14 at 8:45 BFWebAdmin 2,12763167 1 Or strTableName could be Null –4dmonster Feb 25 '14 at 9:52 @4dmonster - Yes, good point - in short, anything that creates an invalid table name would generate this error. –BFWebAdmin Feb 25 '14 at 10:08 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.
