Would suggest check on below:
- Reserved Words: Verify that ttblTraits is not a reserved word in Microsoft Access. If it is, enclose the name in square brackets, e.g., [ttblTraits], to ensure proper functionality.
- Table Name: Confirm that the table ttblTraits exists within your database and that its name matches the spelling and formatting exactly as defined in the database schema.
- Database Integrity: In cases of potential database corruption, utilize the "Compact and Repair Database" tool in Access to resolve any underlying issues.
- Version Compatibility: As you are using a Microsoft 365 trial, ensure that your Access installation is updated to the latest version to avoid compatibility problems that may arise in older releases.
- Query Context: When executing this query within a specific context, such as a form or VBA code, ensure that the execution environment is correctly configured to support the query.
- Syntax Validation: Although the query appears straightforward, attempt to run it directly in Access Query Design view to verify its syntax and functionality.
