Could be caused by a case sensitivity problem. IIRC, Access uses double quotes around names and preserves the case. Try it that way to see if that could be the problem, eg

select "var1" from "table1";

Or maybe your column names are reserved words? I can't remember whether or not reserved words trigger that error or not, though. select * from v$reserved_words; Received on Tue Oct 05 2004 - 09:51:56 CDT
