Re: Not able to find a table

[Dale Seaburg <kg5lt(at)verizon(dot)net>]

A big thanks to Brian Hurt, Michael Fuhr and Michael Glaesemann for  
pointing out the need to quote case-sensitive table and column  
names.  Because I tend to search the documentation when I run into a  
problem, rather than go through the docs thoroughly (all good  
programmers *always* read the docs fully first , right? LOL), I was  
not aware of the quote need.

Thanks again for the help.  I am transitioning from MS-Access to C#  
and Npgsql.  What a challenge, to say the least!  Someone could make  
a ton of money writing an Access-to-C# converter program...  LOL!

Dale.
