Hmmmm... I thought it might be the first one (it was called DESC), but that wasn't it as I changed the name throughout and it still failed. The second one though... This is a description field and contains a variety of freeform text - are you asking if the field value itself contains some characters that might cause problems in the update? Is there a list somewhere of bad characters BTW, that's a pretty good straight line for comedians out there. :)
