Cannot use the SQL statement to create table but can use it for query

Question

I have the following code:

SELECT financial_info.date_month, financial_info.date_year, division_info.practice_id, division_info.site_name, department_info.ID AS dept_uid, department_info.dept_id, department_info.dept_name, staff_data.ID AS staff_uid, staff_data.staffid, employee_name_id_info.ID AS emp_name_uid, employee_name_id_info.[Employee Name] AS emp_name, revctr_to_divdept.ID AS rev_cent_uid, revctr_to_divdept.revenue_id, financial_info.[Date of Hire], financial_info.[Date of Term], IIf([financial_info].[date_year]>Year([financial_info].[Date of Hire]),IIf(IsNull([financial_info].[Date of Term]) Or IsMissing([financial_info].[Date of Term]) Or IsEmpty([financial_info].[Date of Term]),True,IIf([financial_info].[date_year]>Year([financial_info].[Date of Term]),False,IIf([financial_info].[date_year]=Year([financial_info].[Date of Term]),IIf([financial_info].[date_month]>Month([financial_info].[Date of Term]),False,True)))),IIf([financial_info].[date_year]=Year([financial_info].[Date of Hire]),IIf([financial_info].[date_month]<Month([financial_info].[Date of Hire]),False,IIf(IsNull([financial_info].[Date of Term]) Or IsMissing([financial_info].[Date of Term]) Or IsEmpty([financial_info].[Date of Term]),True,IIf([financial_info].[date_year]>Year([financial_info].[Date of Term]),False,IIf([financial_info].[date_year]=Year([financial_info].[Date of Term]),IIf([financial_info].[date_month]>Month([financial_info].[Date of Term]),False,True))))),False)) AS is_employed INTO 0_dr_id_by_month
FROM (division_info INNER JOIN (department_info INNER JOIN revctr_to_divdept ON department_info.ID = revctr_to_divdept.[Financial Dept]) ON division_info.practice_id = revctr_to_divdept.practiceid) INNER JOIN ((employee_name_id_info INNER JOIN financial_info ON employee_name_id_info.ID = financial_info.[Employee Name]) INNER JOIN staff_data ON employee_name_id_info.ID = staff_data.fin_data_link) ON revctr_to_divdept.ID = staff_data.revenue_center_name
WHERE (((financial_info.IsDoctor)=True));

This code executes flawlessly when I use it for a select query. When I try to create a table based on the above code, it says the calculated expression is not valid. Any ideas why this is the case?

Thanks Jon

If your query is executing flawlessly as you are saying, you can save it as:qryName Then go to Create->Query Design->SQL View and place the following code:

 SELECT * 
 into [0_dr_id_by_month]
 from qryName;
