kickstart Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi Think table is a reserved word, hence issues with a column called table. All the best Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpf Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 You can wrap reserved words in a ` and it'll be fine. You also need to do this for column names with spaces in etc... I always do it just be sure. It's good practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
