Reserved Words in Microsoft Access
(Information from Microsoft)

SUMMARY
Here is a list of words and symbols that you should not use in field, object, and variable names because they are reserved words. Reserved words have a specific meaning to Microsoft Access or to the Microsoft Jet database engine. If you use a reserved word or symbol, you may receive an error such as the following:

The wizard was unable to preview your report, possibly because a table needed by your report is exclusively locked.

For existing objects with names that contain reserved words, you can avoid errors by surrounding the object name with brackets ([ ]).

MORE INFORMATION
Because it is not practical to provide a list of all reserved words, such as built-in function names or Microsoft Access user-defined names, please check your product documentation for additional reserved words. Note that if you set a reference to a type library, an object library, or an ActiveX control, that library's reserved words are also reserved words in your database. For example, if you add an ActiveX control to a form, a reference is set, and the names of the objects, methods, and properties of that control become reserved words in your database.

Also ... another added note .....
You should not start the name of an object with a Numeric character.
If you want to add some kind of numeric indentifier to the object .. it should be added to the end of the object name.
