I'm not the real whiz on this but two Oracle-based potential solutions come to mind... 1. Create Oracle SYNONYMS for the offending table/column names (do NOT use quotes in these synonyms!) 2. Create a VIEW of the required tables using non-offending VIEW/column names and refer to the VIEWs in your "exits" SQL statements. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
