Are you sure the .mdb is from A2003? &nbsp;Could it have been created in an earlier version that A2010 will not update? &nbsp;Can other objects be changed/deleted?

Hi All,<br />
<br />
The database is 2003 format but it might have been converted. &nbsp;I'm checking with the client this weekend. &nbsp;I'll keep you posted.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a 2003 mdb file that has worked OK for years. &nbsp;Client upgraded to 2010. &nbsp;They can create queries, rename queries but the delete option is grayed out and the delete button does not work. &nbsp;The mdb is in a trusted location.<br />
<br />
I can open the same mdb in version 2007 or 2003 and queries can be deleted.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?<br />

MS Access 2003 MDB Queries cannot be deleted in Access 2010

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
