Can duplicate field names be used in a table -in Microsoft Access?

What are the object-naming rules in ms-access?

Here are the "Object Naming Rules," as provided by the Microsoft Access Help File: --------------------------------------… Guidelines for naming fields, controls, and objects Names of fields, controls, and objects in Microsoft Access: Can be up to 64 characters long. Can include any combination of letters, numbers, spaces, and special characters except a period (.), an exclamation point (!), an accent grave (`), and brackets ([ ]). Can't begin with leading spaces. Can't include control characters (ASCII values 0 through 31). Can't include a double quotation mark (") in table, view, or stored procedure names in a Microsoft Access project. Although you can include spaces in field, control, and object names, most examples in the Microsoft Access documentation show field and control names without spaces because spaces in names can produce naming conflicts in Visual Basic for Applications in some circumstances. When you name a field, control, or object, it's a good idea to make sure the name doesn't duplicate the name of a property or other element used by Microsoft Access; otherwise, your database can produce unexpected behavior in some circumstances. For example, if you refer to the value of a field called Name in a table NameInfo using the syntax NameInfo.Name, Microsoft Access displays the value of the table's Name property rather than the value of the Name field. Another way to avoid unexpected results is to always use the ! operator instead of the . (dot) operator to refer to the value of a field, control, or object. For example, the following identifier explicitly refers to the value of the Name field rather than the Name property: [NameInfo]![Name] --------------------------------------…

On This Page SUMMARYSaving the Works Database FileImporting the Works Database into AccessThis article describes how to import a Works database file into a Microsoft Access 2000 database. This is a two-step process. First you must save the Works database file in a format compatible with Microsoft Access. Then you can import the Works database into Microsoft Access.Back to the top Save the Works database file in a format compatible with Microsoft Access. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Open the database in Works. 2. Make sure the field widths in Form view are large enough to display all the information in the field. 3. Check the format of each field that contains text to ensure that it is General or Text formatting. If the format of a Text field is set to a numeric format, such as Currency or Date, the field will be blank when you open the database in Access. 4. When you save in dBASE format (as you will do in step 8), field names will be truncated at 10 characters, so ensure the first 10 characters of each field name are unique. For example, two fields named "Address 1" and "Address 2" would be OK, but "Address Line 1" and "Address Line 2" would not be.NOTE: If the first 10 characters in two or more fields are the same, these field names will be imported into Access with a default field name, such as Field_1, Field_2, and so on. 5. On the File menu, click Save As. 6. Select a folder to which to save the database. To make the database easy to locate, select the Access folder. 7. Enter a new name, without an extension, in the File Name field.NOTE: When you import a dBASE file that does not follow the MS-DOS 8.3 file name convention (that is, an 8-character name followed by a period (.) and a 3-character extension), you may encounter problems when you try to import the dBASE file into Microsoft Access. Therefore, be sure to create a new file name that does not use more than 8 characters.For more information, see: 209685 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/209685/EN-US/) Could Not Find Object...
