>To get a list of reserved words, use the ALANGUAGE() function in VFP7. You'll have to call it four times (passing 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the second parameter position) and check all of the resulting arrays. Also note that, depending on what parameter you pass, the results may or may not come back in upper case, so you'll want to use UPPER() when you test against them.

Is there a list of characters that can't be used in the names of tables? I am not using a database container, so do the tablenames have to be ten characters or less?
