Thanks! The Compact DB worked perfectly. Classis Microsoft white-tower programmer nonsense. I wonder how many thousans of man-hours it would save to say either:
“Column Headings need to be trimmed” OR
“Please compact your database first (top left > Manage Database)”

Seriously?

Thanks for the heads-up here though.

Thanks all! After reading here, compacting the database allowed me to run a Make Table query that was previously showing the same cryptic error message. I was working with 1,269,183 records. In terms of bad error messages: Programmers, can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em!
