You just need to use backticks...
Try myDB.Open
If Error Then
Message("Cannot Open database:" & Error.Text)
Return False
End If
myDB.Exec("delete from test_table")
myDB.Exec("insert into test_table (`Actual ID`) values('My actual ID')")
res = myDB.Exec("select `Actual ID` from test_table")
For Each resF In res.Fields
Print resF.Name
Next
res.MoveFirst
While res.Available
Print res["Actual ID"]
res.MoveNext
Wend
Return True
End
prints:
Actual ID
My actual ID
Alternatively, to be sure you get the backtick and not the single quote:
myDB.Exec("delete from test_table")
myDB.Exec("insert into test_table (" & Chr(96) & "Actual ID" &
Chr(96) & ") values('My actual ID')")
res = myDB.Exec("select " & Chr(96) & "Actual ID" & Chr(96) & " from
test_table")
Kind regards,
