Please forgive me if this has been brought up before, but I ran the search on the main page, and I didn't get any results.

Here's the problem. I've generated a couple of reports, as well as designing a few of my own. On one of my tables, I have a field names "Quit". If I put this field in the report, I get an error when I open the report in preview mode, which says.

Access Database Jet engine cannot find the field "Quit". The fieldname may be missing or misspelled.

This error is wrong. The field is there. And when I click on the OK button, Access closes.

Here's the question. Is "Quit" a restricted word? Or is this just one of the many bugs that Microsoft has seen fit to allow in it's software?

It's a reserved word as you've discovered it closes your db. (DoCmd.Quit) change your field name to something else.
