Mike,

It turns out that it is a rights problem, I don't have select rights to the table (why I don't is another problem). But I'm interested in your comment about lower case table and column names being a pain in the but in Oracle. Could you expound a little, since lower case naming has been my convention for MS SQL Server for several years. What kind of problems does it cause?
