Query returning duplicate field names

Don
I have a .NET program that can connect to either an Access 97 database or an
SQL Server 7 database. In the database I have two tables which have a field
called ID. When I run a query like "SELECT A.*, B.* FROM A, B", the query
returns those fields as "A.ID" and "B.ID" when connected to Access 97, but
as "ID" and "ID" in SQL Server 7. Is there anyway to get SQL Server to
prepend the table name to the field name in a case like this and not return
duplicate field names like that without having to specify aliases for the
fields?

Hi Don,

No. You'll have to use aliases.

(Or - much better! - specify a column list instead of using SELECT *)

Best, Hugo
