Sergey,

Thanks for the addition. Goes to show just how much I've avoided using spaces in column names. *g*

>You're correct that names that doesn't follow the Transact-SQL rules for identifiers mast be quoted. However, the double quotes (ANSI standard) can only de used when SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER is ON. The square brackets ([]) can be used always and not affected by any settings but they are MS SQL Server specific.
