Dave,

        You also need to put double quotes around table names as they conform to the 
same rules as columns.

You must put double quotes around column names in select and where clauses and it is 
VERY case sensitive.  Note the following query;

select "concontainer" from [EMAIL PROTECTED] where "conID" = 1;

if you tried this with the field of "conid" it would fail.  It's a pain in the butt 
that is how it works.  Be sure to look at the table structures on SQL Server to get 
the proper case of the field names.
Hope this helps.

Dave

Can anyone give me an example of an SQL statement that will retrieve data
from SQL Server.
What is the best way to do this?

Thanks!
