Hi Guys, thanks for the help so far.
The problem is not with a Select statement, but the Dataset being generated
by VS2005.
So I right click on the solution, select Add New Item, then select Dataset,
then create the Dataset and the "wizard" asks for the table to be used, etc.
and finally one has the light-blue screen with the table diagram on the
screen with all the column names. Build and there are more than a hundred
compile errors.
Before posting the 1st message above I did change the column on the diagram
to be "[System]", with no success.

There is a database table with one of the columns named "System".
When creating a new Dataset for this table, the project gives a huge
number of compile errors.
If I change the column name to be anything else than "System" and
re-generate the Dataset, it works. The problem is that this is an existing
database and there is no way that the column name will be changed.
