Hi,

I know there are a couple of other posts regarding this matter, but I am
using the simplest of statements, yet the get the above error. My code looks
like this:

OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand ("SELECT Name FROM Employees", Conn);
conn.Open();
OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();

It falls over on the ExecuteReader with the above error (I have the actual
code in a try catch block, calling the Read method of dr).

As I am not specifying any parameters, can anyone tell me what the problem
might be?
 
You are specifying a parameter: "Name". This message indicates that there
is no such field in the database called "Name".
 
"Name" is a reserved word. Either rename the column or use [Name]
