You may also receive the following error if you try to call an ODBC

Or…
 
Try renaming the table you are getting the error on.
 
Or…

2. Choose Tools > Options.
3. Click the Advanced tab.

My table was a local table, I Had to open the table in design view, then go to properties and in the "Order By" property had to remove the fields there and worked!
