$ in field name

I am trying to link to an ODBC source. The source is a table on an
AS400 server. Some fields in the table have the $ in their name so I
get an error. Is there anyway around this. I just want
to create a pass-through query using some of the fields which 2 of the
fields
contain the $. I wa able to Use Microsoft Query and removed the $ from
the fields after I had figured out the SQL using Dreamweaver.

Is it possible to connect via VBA and run a pass through query to pull
information that I need?

Any help would be appreciated

TIA
