SUMMARY
The Microsoft Jet database engine runs in several different modes depending on whether it is called from Microsoft Access, Data Access Objects, the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Jet, or the Microsoft access ODBC driver. It can be run in either ANSI mode or non-ANSI (traditional) mode.
Each of these modes results in a slightly different set of reserved words. Queries written in one mode may use a reserved word as an identifier and fail in another mode because of this.
This article provides a list of reserved words to avoid when choosing identifier names.
