>>I am doing some work with an ODBC data source "LinkBook" (using a 3rd party ODBC driver). This driver allows you to access QuickBooks files. When it generated the code for the remote view, I noticed that the field names for the QuickBooks file were coded ' filename."Field Name" ' (no outer quotes) for the fields with spaces in their names (Address 1, etc.).

I got some feedback from the ODBC author. He gave me some debugging tips which I'll work with over the weekend. I just wish the feedback from VFP were a bit more meaningful.

Thanks for your help.
