I have a moderate sized table (14000 rows x 25 cols) of scientific data and am doing the simplest query in the world. Select all rows based on a single value in one field (plot no:numeric).

Complicated queries like >2000 And < 2500 work fine but Access crashes when I ask for something simple like 1816.

Here's where it gets really spooky....If I change the table name, it works, and if I change it back it doesn't. It doesn't like the table name "summary", although "test", "ghkehkegfdsljk" and "aardvark" were fine.

Re-importing the data from its original source to a brand new fresh database didn't work.

Is "summary" some kind of reserved word (though that wouldn't explain why it didn't like "tim".....we started feeding people's names in & that was the only one that didn't work)?

Any ideas/similar experiences?
