Question : System resource exceeded.

I have a quite long query with many union queries along the way and one-sided joins

In the end a 70,000 recordset is returned

However I add one more union query statement and I get the "System resource exceeded" message

What can I do to overcome this?

Answer : System resource exceeded.

Hi Zarbs

Instead of doing a make table or append query to a local table, I suggest you create a temporary database, then create the temporary table in that database and link it to your front-end database for the processing.

It might sound like a big hassle, but it's really very simple and it saves you heaps of database bloat, which can be a major cause of corruption.
