'.' is invalid in an SQL table name. I don't know what driver you are using (you seem very reluctant to tell us anything useful about your DBMS), but dbo.vwC1198_2006_RawData_With_CMPL_EXCL probably means table vwC1198_2006_RawData_With_CMPL_EXCL in database dbo, and that is valid as part of SQL, but not in your usage in sqlFetch.
