Ron, Are you possibly using names that have spaces or other non-alphanumeric characters?

>I have run across a problem when saving a query. When I use a name longer than 12-14 characters then try to run the query in preview mode I get an error message that says "Variable xyz Missing". The xyz is always the last few characters of my query name as I saved it on my local drive. My solution to this point is to keep reducing the length of my query name and re-save it. This gets tedious and the name length that works is not always the same.
