If the data source for a form created by the Data Form Wizard containsa dash ‘-’ in its name or in the name of a field, it is required that thedata source name or field name be delimited by brackets in a SQL statement.The Data Form Wizard does not include brackets around these names.

Symptoms
When you set the RecordSource property of an ADO Data Control to a different SQL SELECT statement and then try to execute the Refresh method, the following error is returned:

Syntax error in FROM clause.which is followed by:

Run-time error ‘-2147217900(80040e14)’:
Method ‘Refresh’ of object ‘IAdodc’ failedor:

Method ‘Refresh’ of object ‘IAdodc’ failed when attempting to refresh an ADODC after setting the recordsource property to another value.The errors occur if the CommandType property of the ADO Data Control is set to adCmdTable.
Resolution
When the CommandType of the ADO Data Control is set to adCmdTable, “SELECT * From” is automatically prepended to the RecordSource value.
Setting the RecordSource to a table name results in a valid SQL statement, such as SELECT * FROM Tablename.
Setting the RecordSource to a SQL SELECT statement, such as Select * From Tablename, results in a SQL statement ofSelect * From Select * From Tablename, which is an invalid SQL statement.
