    Importing Table Cannot Define field more than once 3191

    I took a look at this table to look for any duplicate fields. I didn't see any duplicates in the table. It also has a sub datasheet. Could that be the Issue? Is anyone familiar with some solutions to solve this issue? It seems there is no issue in the table when I look at it in another database. Is there anything I can show people that will help you understand my issue better? Could there be an issue with the import specs? Any help would be appreciated.



    Thanks,
    Nick

    I was able to export it manually on my local computer from one local copy to another local copy without any problems. I didn't name it that new destination table name. As soon as I run the vb code it come with that error. Could the database be corrupted possibly?

    its quite possible that the use of non alphanumeric characters (@#/-), reserved words (container, update, delete, perhaps others) in your field names and starting them with a numeric value is causing a misleading error. i.e. you have an error, but the message is pointing you in the wrong direction. So perhaps you have made a change somewhere, using the table for something else or just have some duff data which is creating the error.

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