I have to ask the user questions to zero in on what form or report was in use and what was being done when the failure happened, before I even know which query we are talking about. Below is my attempt to deal with this...

    In previous versions, if I wanted to add additional columns to the query design grid, I would highlight as many columns as I wanted to be added, then would click Insert Columns at the top of the screen. This does not work in version 2016. I don't know why Microsoft has not corrected this yet...

    Shrinking a screen shot to fit in PowerPoint

    Was browsing this forum this morning and came across thread68-1302164, which is now closed.
