I don't know the reason (perhaps OS-based, since tables are implemented as eponymous files), but it was a pretty awful idea to allow special chars in names in the first place. you probably have only two options, equally unpleasant: - rename your tables and columns - back-tick all your non-standard names in queries: `négociateurs`.`téléphone`... (not even sure it will work, and don't want to try...) Good luck (BTW there is a similar problem with your e-mail name!! "EKSTEIN, Clément @ Paris" translates as "EKSTEIN; Clément @ Paris" in the "To" with Outlook Express, causing a failure to answer...) Stick to standards.
