Thanks, I will give this a try. I will be sure to post my result just in case anyone else has had the same problem field names to deal with.

>SQL Server 7.0 allows field and table names to contain spaces or other characters that violate valid identifier rules. These table or field names should be enclosed in "[" "]" when used in SQL expression or queries. If the quoted identifier is set to "ON", double quotation marks can also be used to enclose these identifiers. For instance, here are some valid examples of SQL queries:
>
>Select * from [Table with spaces]
>Or
>Set quoted identifier on
>Select * from "Table with spaces"
>

>>Ok, tried it and I get the literal value 1, 2 in the cursor for fields exp1, exp2. It thinks 1 is a literal value and not a field reference.
