So from your code I'm assuming it is the CREATE that isn't working, not the drop. I've seen that error message when trying to drop a table and there is a "declare cursor" still defined on a temp table that was never dropped. There's only one thing I can think of with the Create, and that's whether some other program is creating a temp table with a common column name but with a different data type. But that wouldn't explain why the loop sometimes works. And I'm guessing that no one would have the form or report designer up that uses the temp table? Hey, did you see that Packers / Bears schedule???

I create a temporary table in a form's On Before Start EEP The form is run dozens of times a day. Once or twice a week I trap an SQL 2440 error, "Unavailable resource encountered during <command> command". This is not machine-specific, it occurs on several computers. SCRATCH is set to TMP - local C:\Users\...\Temp WAIT TIME is 15 seconds. INTERVAL is .5 seconds. What could be causing the error message? What resource could be unavailable? Or is it a red herring message and it's really something else? Code is below. The [error routine] allows up to 4 tries to loop back and create the table. It usually works the second time; once in a great while it fails after 4 tries and I exit the program. TIA & Happy Memorial Day weekend - take a moment to reflect.
