Unsurprisingly, ODBC thinks it's a dumb name for a field, too.

You'll probably need to "escape" it. I'm decades out of ODBC, so I don't recall if ODBC wants you to enclose the field name in single quotes, square brackets or back ticks (that `` funny key in the upper left corner no one ever uses). A web search might yield a suggestion, or you can just try the Usual Suspects...

Or maybe double-quotes. Or maybe, doubled single-quotes (like ''this''). Or maybe escaped quotes (of various sorts) such as '"'.

Isn't it nice to have options? <GD&RVVF>

That funny key is used in UNIX.
