Error 207

Severity Level 16
Message Text

Invalid column name '%.*ls'.

Explanation

This error occurs when a column referenced in a Transact-SQL statement was not found in any table specified in the FROM clause of the query.

Action

Change the column name to a column name present in one of the tables referenced in the query.

This example returns error 207:

USE Northwind
GO
SELECT CategoryName1
FROM Categories
GO

Evaluate the problem by looking at the full command. For the above example, ensure that the SELECT statement contains the name of a valid column name (CategoryName rather than CategoryName1 as specified above) for the specified table.

USE Northwind
GO
SELECT CategoryName
FROM Categories
GO
