In your SQL Select statement reference by using the back ticks and 
give it a new name with the AS.

SELECT `6 AM` AS 6AM, ....


As for variables <CFOUTPUT>#6AM#</CFOUTPUT> ... if I remember 
correctly is invalid ... CF vars can't begin with a numeric value.

Subject: Access Field Names with Blanks in them




I am re-writing a scheduling program that was written in ASP/VB to work in
Cold
Fusion.  The scheduling program uses an Access Database as its backend.

This is just a small program and we are trying to keep the backend the same
and
just re-write the front end.  However, the person that wrote this access
database made the field names contain spaces.   For example, one field name
is 6
AM

I didn't think you could have spaces in a field name.  But even so, how do
you
tell Cold Fusion the field name?  I didn't think you could use #6 AM#.

I have just started re-writing it and I am going to try referencing the
field
name as  #6 AM#, but  I wanted to get feedback.

Is this the right way to do it?  I would like not to have to re-write the
back
end just yet.

Mary
