Access VBA compile error
I get a "compile error: argument not optional" when I run the following macro in Access 2000
Echo = "SELECT * INTO Echo FROM Delta LEFT JOIN BookingOfficeregion ON Delta.bookingoffice=Bookin
DoCmd.RunSQL Echo
If I just run the query in the query menu, I get no errors. Any ideas?

Don't use Echo for a variable name - it's an Access VBA method.
Try something like strSQL - it kind of tells you what the variable is for.
Try something like strSQL - it kind of tells you what the variable is for.
Generally, you should pick your variable names carefully, and give them meaningful prefixes to avoid problems like this.
For example, prefix integer names with 'int', string with 'str', textboxes with 'txt'... etc)
intMyinteger
strMyString
txtMyTextbox
cboMyComboBox
Take a look at these standards (many of the Experts here use these):
