Forte & ODBC Access Database

Question

We are looking to deploy Forte to Win 3.11 and Win95 users. We are
using Access database tables to hold data cache locally, rather than
pull it across the wire.
We have ODBC drivers for Win95 but are going to get 16bit 3.11 drivers
from VB v4.
Has anyone else tried this and if so, are there any pitfalls or helpfull
hints.
Thanks in advance.

Duncan,
Just put the column in double quotes.
Example:
sql SELECT
,ipool.id
,asgn."Assignment Date"
,asgn.router
,asgn."Order Number"
FROM assigned_ips addr
,assignments asgn
WHERE
addr.id = asgn.Assigned_IP
AND asgn.master_ip = mpool.id
AND mpool.ip_pool = ipool.id
AND ipool.ncc = ncc.id
ORDER BY addr.id
on session accessDbSession

Hi folks!
Does anyone know if there is some way to reference Micosoft Access
database columns that contain spaces using Forte and ODBC?
I know it's like trying to use a jet plane to go down to the high street,but
we want to extend a (large) in-house system with a good Forte front-end.
I am aware that there are utilities available to rename entities within
Access databases, but if there is an easy way to do this in Forte we'd
prefer to go that way.
