Accents in table field names works in access 2013 and 2010. What error are you getting?
I don't really remember what it said, invalid syntax, or invalid string, maybe? But I must have been doing something wrong. It actually does accept accents in 2013. But I was doing it at work, and God only knows what version it was (most of our programs are antiquated....and sometimes tweaked). I tried it at home on 2013 and no issues. So on with the list of subdialects still in use.

All that is a bit much. I'm not doing an in-depth study on the matter, and most of that is beyond me. I am a mere beginner. I'm only looking for word differences, sort of like headwords in a dictionary. The grammatical changes (eclipses and the like) won't really be a part of it. Although I will include a field for notes, even a memo field has a character limit. I keep extensive grammar notes and the like in OneNote.
Am I making any sense as to what I'm trying to do?
Thanks again for everyone's assistance!
