I am querying an external database and get a syntax error message that looks
like:

SELECT CMT REGISTER_TRANSACTION.Bank_Account,
CMT_REGISTER_TRANSACTION.Check<<???, etc, etc.
FROM CMT_REGISTER_TRANSACTION CMT_REGISTER_TRANSACTION
WHERE (CMT_REGISTER_TRANSACTION.Bank_Account='4001')
Syntax Error.

The problem seems to be the "check" field because if I remove it, the data
is retrieved. Have checked the ODBC connections and also confirmed if there
are custom descriptions for the "check" field. Everything seems to be in
order. Have also tried querying other tables in the external database & have
no problems. Wondering what could be causing Excel to return a syntax error
message on this field.

Thanks,
Cheryl
