I am using Access 2002. I am trying to eliminate duplicate records. When I
try to copy and paste my table structure, I am getting an "Invalid Argument"
error. I have actually been receiving this error in a few different places
with this database. Could it have anything to do with the size of the
database (approx. 3.4 million records)? Please help!

The message probably indicates a corruption.

Try the steps for the first symptom in this article:

The size of the table should not be an issue, though you might consider
compacting the database, and you will need lots of free disk space.
