The answer to your first question is no.

My response to the second is to avoid having a blank field name by using an
alias name.

Subject: [IBO] IB_Query Fields -- Accessing via default array and
FieldByName accessor

FieldByName('Field').AsType accessors?

qryATable['ATable.AField']. I notice that this is how they show up when you
want to set the field for a data-aware control, but I have had luck using
the non-qualified field names in the past.
