| I have created a table and given a column the name: ListID_ FacilityTypeWhen I look in the property list for the table I see the name is in []. I thought that ment the name was using a reserver word. 1. Why would this name be in []? 2. I don't want any problems down streem. should i change the name? |

it's because there's a space in your column name. names shouldn't have spaces in them IMO. unless you like typing square brackets.

It's because you have a space in the column name, the [ ] are just column identifiers like quotes would be.

| Not only space in column name, some special characters in column name need [] also. |
