PRB: DBGrid Does Not Insert Record If Field Name Contains Dash

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. In an SQL Server database, create a table with a field that has a dash in it. For example, use the following script with MSQuery:

         CREATE TABLE x
         (id INTEGER,
         "e-mail" VARCHAR(10))
         // Note the double quotes to avoid the error with the dash.
   						

2. Create a Data Source that points to the correct database.
3. Make an MFC Dialog application.
4. Add the Microsoft Remote Data Control (MSRDC) to the dialog box that is being created. Set the following properties of the MSRDC control:

      DataSourceName    to your data source
      CursorDriver      1-ODBC cursor
      LockType          3-Optimistic concurrency
      ResultType        1-Create a Keyset cursor
      SQL               SELECT * FROM x
   						

5. Add a DBGrid to the dialog box and set the following properties:

      AllowAddNew       True
      AllowUpdates      True
      DataSource        the name of the MSRDC
   						

6. Build and run the application. While running the application, try to insert a record in the grid, that is (1, Eric). Move off the record and the error message occurs.
