Once tables have been created in a database, a user can develop a query in order to select a group of fields from those tables or select records which relate to a specific set of criteria, and he can ready those records to be used in a report. At times, you may face problems running already created queries which would force Microsoft Access to shutdown abruptly. This behavior can also result in database corruption.
