Why not prepend all your tables with tbl? That would guarantee that you don't hit a reserved word.

I have code that builds tables and it really needs to check the proposed table name to make sure that the name isn't a reserved word, and that it does not have special characters. I have had TWO times now where I was hunting down errors caused by issues with what is valid in a table name. I could build a table of reserved words but if any new ones are added my list would be short. John W.
