Cannot delete links to linked tables in Access 2007

I receive the following error " is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.

Please note that the quotation mark is part of the error message. Read the error as: Quotation mark is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.

The linked table name is tblStudies.

What can I do to get around this problem and be able to unlink (delete) linked tables?
