CAUSE

This behavior occurs when the field name you specified in the INSERT INTO statement does not exist in the database being queried. Most often this happens if you have mistyped the query.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, you must specify the correct field name in the INSERT INTO statement. To do this, follow these steps:

Determine the correct field name in your database.
1. Start Microsoft Access and open your database.
2. Select the table you are querying and then click Design View.
3. Note the name of the field you would like to query. The field name appears in the Field Name column.
4. On the File menu, click Exit.
Start or switch to FrontPage Editor and then open the page that contains the database region.
Right-click any of the column values in your database region and then click Database Region Properties on the menu that appears.
In the INSERT INTO statement, type the name of the field you noted in step 1. For example, if the field name is Field1, type your query like this:
INSERT INTO TableName (Field1)
Values
('%%Field1%%')
NOTE: Your query may be different depending on the name of your table and the number of fields you are querying.
Click Finish.
On the File menu, click Save.
