error exporting data to GDB - ArcMap 10.2

[deleted-user-ugCMpXci8bn5]

Hi,

I imported a few tables from SQL Server that have X Y columns.  I first used 'Display X Y data' to view the rows (points), and they display as expected.  But when I try to use 'Export Data' to a feature class, I get an error saying "Table Not Found".  I don't see any problem with the attribute tables of the Event layers (no null rows, no odd characters that I can see...).  What am I doing wrong here?I have done this many times before without any problems. Thanks, Jason

I found a workaround, although I am not entirely sure why it works:I just first exported the table as a file gdb table, into my home gdb..then I used that new table to display X Y data and 'export data' from that new event layer...this worked without any errors.
