Hi!

Some more reasons.
1. Is that fields spelled correctly? Is it in that table?
2. Are all characters in the name correct? I know russians have a problem with characters that look similar but really represent different character codes cause such weird errors. For example, 'e' might have 2 different character codes in russian codepage. When you occasionally switch to another codepage and type such character, it is hard than to distinguish which character used - English or russian. Try to retype field name completely.
3. If that field is memo field, check if memo file is not corrupted.
4. As Ko said, look for #DEFINE constants in your code. If you have somewhere #DEFINE Dir_emp - this is really one of the reson of your problem. To check if it defined as a constant, try to use "? Dir_emp" code line before your SQL Select statement and see what value will be printed on the active form when this command executed.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
