SYMPTOMS
========

When a SQLNumResultCols call is executed on a statement handle, on which you
perform a SELECT query on a table and the word ORDER or GROUP appears anywhere
in the table's name, SQLNumResultCols returns one of the following errors:

  SQLState=37000,
  szErrorMsg=[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 2.0 Driver] Syntax error in FROM
  clause

-or-

  SQLState=S0002,
  szErrorMsg=[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 2.0 Driver] Couldn't find input
  table or query <xx>

For example, assume two tables exist in the database called ordering and
reordering, respectively. Then the following sequence of calls will exhibit this
behavior:

Case A
------

     SQLPrepare(hstmt,"select * from ordering",SQL_NTS)
     SQLNumResultCols(hstmt,pccol)
        Returns SQL_ERROR.

     SQLError(henv,hdbc,hstmt1,szSQLState,pfNativeError,SZErrorMsg)
        Returns

     SQLState=37000
     szErrorMsg=[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 2.0 Driver] Syntax error
     in From clause

Case B
------

     SQLPrepare(hstmt,"select * from reordering",SQL_NTS)
     SQLNumResultCols(hstmt,pccol)
        Returns SQL_ERROR.

     SQLError(henv,hdbc,hstmt1,szSQLState,pfNativeError,SZErrorMsg)
        Returns

     SQLState=S0002
     szErrorMsg=[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 2.0 Driver] Couldn't
     find input table or query 're'

Also, these errors are returned for table names that contain the word GROUP, like
regroup, regrouping. Other examples of the table names that have the problem are
border, camcorder, or grouped.
