Hi Doug,

>First, you can get around the problem of using reserved words by putting quotes around them; for example, SELECT "PERCENT" FROM SOMETABLE.

Does this work for all back-ends ?

Also, you would have to put quotes around every field name in order to be safe - PERCENT was not a reserved word in SQL Server 6.5, but it was one in SQL Server 7.0 and above.

Code you write now could easily be broken when the user upgrades his copy of the back-end.

Best.

Matt.
