Where do you see these errors? –Phil Jul 7 '14 at 22:41 Probably you need to refresh the intellisense cache assuming SSMS. –Martin Smith Jul 7 '14 at 22:44 relational dbms using sql server management studio –user3814197 Jul 7 '14 at 22:58 tried a refresh of the intellisense cache, but had no impact –user3814197 Jul 7 '14 at 23:03 Had the same problem and refreshing intellisense cache as mentioned here worked for me in SSMS. –Jeevaka Nov 10 '14 at 17:21 | show 1 more comment 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 16 down vote Make sure you're using the correct database. It may be defaulting to the "Master" database, and it doesn't look like you have the full schema for the referenced table. Ex: [DatabaseName].[Schema].[TableName] or [Database1].[smmdmm].[aid_data] Hope this helps. share|improve this answer answered Jul 7 '14 at 23:05 Sev09 560722 add a comment| up vote 13 down vote Try: Edit -> IntelliSense

I am creating a table using a maketable query (ie SELECT ....... Into Table1.....etc) I call this table in another query later on in the code however, Intellisense underlines Table1 and says that this is an Invalid Object Name....When I run the query I get an error telling me of invalid column names. I look http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24621007/invalid-object-name-sql in the list of tables in SSMS and this table exists.....If I manually try and create another table with teh same name I get an error saying the table already exists in the database...................Any thoughts?

Can you chare the code where you are getting invalid column errors?

Once it is complete I am running the actual select query which calls the table I just created.......I haven't put it into any code yet I am just troubleshooting the query to make sure it works.

It will not be possible to predict the issue with columns without looking at the query.

Resolution: This typically means 1 of 2 things... you've referenced an object (table, trigger, stored procedure,etc) that doesn't actually exist (i.e., you executed a query to update a table, and that table doesn't exist). Or, invalid object the table exists, but you didn't reference it correctly... here's more detail on that... MSDN says: "In SQL Server 2000, database users and schemas are implicitly connected. Every database user is the owner of a schema that has the same name as the user. In SQL Server 2005, schemas exist independently of the database user that creates them". That is why you have to explicitly specify schema name invalid object name in TableName property if you use SQL Server 2005. For example, rather than "tableCustomers" you specify "admin.tableCustomers" where "admin" is schema name in which table "tableCustomers" was created. If you specify just "tableCustomers", then dbo.TableCustomers is assumed... but if your tableCustomers was created in schema "admin", then you need to specify by the name "admin.tableCustomers". This can show up not ONLY when executing SQL statements, but may even affect you when adding a db user... here's a scenario observed recently: When trying to add a new DB user for a customer, we received the error "Invalid Object Name: SecurityLog". The customer had a table named "SecurityLog" created in schema "service". But why was it causing an error when we tried to add a db user? Because the customer ALSO had a Trigger... and in the trigger was SQL referring to the table as "SecurityLog", not "service.SecurityLog". And apparently, during DB user creation, MSSQL 2005 checks through all of this BEFORE it allows the user to be created. The solution was to work with the customer to address the improper reference to the table in the trigger, by either modifying the trigger, or deleting it so the customer could readd the trigger with the pr

How to fix Invalid object name errors on working query? 100+ P: 347 dougancil I have the following query: insert into msbtotal.dbo.newclients SELECT distinct tcms_members.dbo.memberdata2.* FROM tcms_members.dbo.memberdata2 left outer join msbtotal.dbo.memberdata on tcms_members.dbo.memberdata2.id = msbtotal.dbo.memberdata.id where msbtotal.dbo.memberdata.id is null and when I try to run this, I get the following error: Invalid object name 'msbtotal.dbo.newclients'. I've removed the msbtotal.dbo from this and then will get the error: Invalid object name "newclients" ..... I had this as a scheduled job in SQL Server Agent jobs and now it's not working. Can anyone suggest a reason as to why it's not working? Feb 8 '11 #1 Post Reply ✓ answered by Rabbit If it doesn't exist right now, it's not going to create it. An insert into will not create a table. A select into will though. Share this Question 8 Replies Expert Mod 10K+ P: 12,110 Rabbit Have you checked the table? Maybe someone accidentally renamed it or deleted it. Or maybe someone accidentally changed the permissions on the table. Feb 8 '11 #2 reply 100+ P: 347 dougancil That query is supposed to create a table called newclients. I did check the table and also that database and reset the permissions, and I'm still getting the error. this stopped working yesterday and the change I made was to make all of the references to the database be msbtotal.dbo.newclients. So the process I have are these 4 steps: 1. insert into msbtotal.dbo.newclients SELECT distinct tcms_members.dbo.memberdata2.* FROM tcms_members.dbo.memberdata2 left outer join msbtotal.dbo.memberdata on tcms_members.dbo.memberdata2.id = msbtotal.dbo.memberdata.id where msbtotal.dbo.memberdata.id is null GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO 2.select distinct * into newclients2 from msbtotal.dbo.newclients 3. drop table msbtotal.dbo.newclients 4. sp_rename 'newclients2', 'newclients' Feb 8 '11 #3 reply Expert Mod 10K+ P: 12,110 Rabbit I don't understand, why do you have an intermediary table? Can't you truncate new clients before inserting into it? Or can't you just do the insert? Is there a reason why you have to insert into an intermediary table before dropping the original and renaming it? What was the process before you made the changes?
