Last reviewed: May 21, 1997
Article ID: Q96589
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

You receive the following error message:

   Couldn't Find Object [object name]

RESOLUTION

To troubleshoot the problem:

  • First check to ensure that [object name] exists. It could be a table, a query, or an SQL statement. If it does not exist, you must remove all references to it from your application. Often, the RecordSource property of a form or report will contain a reference to an object whose name has changed or has been deleted.
  • If [object name] exists, then it is likely that there is a syntax or spelling error in the reference to it.
  • You are trying to open an attached table, but the file containing the table is not on the path you specified when you attached it. If you moved the file, you can use the Attachment Manager in Microsoft Access 2.0 to update the attachment so that it points to the correct path.
