Jupiter,

This didn't work for me, I tried a few permutations on my own:

SELECT [Tracking Nbr] FROM Kaiser_VRT_Extract_Sac

[download]
Gives:

SQL ERROR: Bad table or column name '[Tracking Nbr]' has chars not alp
+hanumeric or underscore!

[download]
Similar errors occur for:

'[Tracking Nbr]'
['Tracking Nbr']
"[Tracking Nbr]"
["Tracking Nbr"]

[download]
I agree on the avoidance issue, but unfortunately I'm stuck with what I have. When I get connected to the "real" database there's probably not going to be a problem, but it would be nice to do the development in an isolated environment.

Thanks for the suggestion, let me know if you think of anything else. Anyone know where to look for the answer?
