    Data cannot be retrieved from the source you have selected...

    I get this error message:

    "Data cannot be retrieved from the source you have selected. You must select a different table or query to continue in the wizard."

    When trying to put a list box in my forum. I created a query to show all tasks I have listed as "Completed"

    When I select this query to be placed into the list box, and choose the sort option, the error message pops up.

    I tried with a bunch of other queries and tables too, but to no avail.

    I created a similar form before, but that was over a year ago. Now, it just doesn't work.




    Help please.

    Start by just using a table as the RowSource of your ListBox and see what happens.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
