Microsoft Jet database engine error – does not recognize ‘[|]’ as a valid field name or expression

Question : Microsoft Jet database engine error – does not recognize ‘[|]’ as a valid field name or expression

I am getting the error message from Microsoft Query:
The Microsoft Jet database engine does not recognize ‘[|]’ as a valid field name or expression.

What I am attempting to do is refresh to Excel the data returned from this query.  I do this often without problems.

This is SQL Code:
SELECT [815-3 Stock].Itemkey
FROM (((([815-3 Stock]
LEFT JOIN [815-2 AverageWeeklyRMUsage] ON [815-3 Stock].Itemkey = [815-2 AverageWeeklyRMUsage].ItemkeyReq)
LEFT JOIN [815-4 OnOrder] ON [815-3 Stock].Itemkey = [815-4 OnOrder].Itemkey)
LEFT JOIN [250-1a Earliest Purchase Order] ON [815-3 Stock].Itemkey = [250-1a Earliest Purchase Order].Itemkey)
LEFT JOIN [663-1A Itemkey Invoicing – Annual] ON [815-3 Stock].Itemkey = [663-1A Itemkey Invoicing – Annual].Itemkey)
LEFT JOIN [663-1A Itemkey Invoice Qty by Month] ON [815-3 Stock].Itemkey = [663-1A Itemkey Invoice Qty by Month].Item
WHERE ((([815-3 Stock].Itemkey)=”CNONSOL233″));

It doesn’t matter whether I change the “LEFT” above to “INNER”, the query still doesn’t work.

All MSAccess queries execute without problem in MS Access 2000
In Microsoft Query I am able to open all Access queries individually but not the joined query
I am not 100% sure what the character enclosed in [ is but it looks like the straight down slash

I’ve been working with this for entire 1 1/2 days … have reinstalled office and everything to no avail.

Any help much appreciated
