Hi Helen,

Could it be the dialect I am using(3).
My SQL property is as follows(with no ""):-
Select * from staffcategory

When I Set the Active property to true, it accepts it??

Do I have to specify columns?

Thanks,
Dion

Did you declare the table with quoted identifiers?
If you did
CREATE TABLE "hEaVeN" ("COL1", "col2", "Col3")

Then your SQL must be

SELECT "COL1", "col2", "Col3"
FROM "hEaVeN"

It makes life a WHOLE lot easier if you don't use quoted identifiers at
all. Only user them if you really MUST (e.g. you are converting from a
different database and you want to keep "illegal" identifier names such as
reserved symbols or column names that contain spaces).
