Question

The database my application uses has field names containing spaces. I believe this to be the cause of my problem. Here is a typical query:

SELECT * FROM 'OV2 BAS' AS bas 
INNER JOIN 'OV2 RefID' AS ids ON 'bas.Ref ID' = 'ids.Ref ID' 
WHERE ids.ENUM_H = 'TDischarge';

How do I deal with the spaces in the field names? Thanks.

Additional Information

This is to access a database made with MS Access 2007 (Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0).

I don’t think you can use quotes around the actual table name; only the name you assign to it. I would wrap the table in brackets instead: [OV2 BAS]

You also can’t put quotes around your joining syntax either. Try this instead:

SELECT * FROM [OV2 BAS] AS bas INNER JOIN [OV2 RefID] AS ids ON bas.[Ref ID] = ids.[Ref ID] WHERE ids.ENUM_H = 'TDischarge';
