The information in this article applies to:
In Microsoft Query, when you create a new data source, and you use the Access Data ODBC driver, the MSYSMACROS system table is not added when you display the system tables for this data source.
The MSYSMACROS system table is not created when you use the Access Data ODBC driver to create a new data source, because you cannot create macros using ODBC; therefore, this table is not required.
To add the MSYSMACROS system table to a Microsoft Access data source that you created in Microsoft Query, open the database in Microsoft Access and create a macro. The MSYSMACROS system table is then displayed in the Add Tables dialog box when you select the System Tables check box for the database in Microsoft Query.
A system table is a table that contains information about the structure of a database. A Microsoft Access database has six default system tables; MSYSACES, MSYSCOLUMNS, MSYSINDEXES, MSYSOBJECTS, MSYSQUERIES, and MSYSMACROS. When you use a Microsoft Access database in Microsoft Query, and you select the System Tables check box in the Table Options dialog box, each of these tables appears in the Add Tables dialog box. However, when you create a new data source, and you use the Access Data ODBC driver, the MSYSMACROS system table is not added when you display the system tables for this data source.
