Out of all databases, spaces in table names and field names are allowed only in MS Access. You will have to duplicate the database for use in CC and modify all those names by changing the space into a character like an underscore. Then you will have to write code necessary to periodically recocile the two databases.

If you only need to read the table in CC I suggest making a Query that
renames the fields. CC will show the Querys after the Tables...

Example SQL syntax:

select [event date] as event_date from events

When using an access database with spaces in field or table names, you need to enclose all names in square brackets:

Select [field name 1], [field name 2] from [table name] where [field name 1] = "access blows"

Hope that helps. ;-)

Thank You very much .. the concept of enclosing the square brackets between the table name (select * from [tableName]) in cases where the table name have space between the name field was very helpful to me !!
Big Cheers,
