Quote:OK. So translation removed the # and changed #1 to 1, which is still a number. But I thought numbers couldn't be used as field names.
No. If your field is actually named "1". It didn't do anything to it. In Q&A, #10 = #1 and #10 = 1 are not the same thing.
Numbers can't be used as field names
in programming. Having an element named "5" does no harm unless you try to use it in programming. If you enter a SBasic program like ...
ItemPrice = BasePrice + 5
... we would have no way to know if you meant us to add 5 or to add the value in an element called "5". However, if you never use that element in a program, it makes no difference. Characters like "!" and "=" are much more harmful, because they interfere with our ability to do things like parse Retrieve Specs.
Quote:I guess, but my Error Log lists 264 of these.
Does it list them as Errors or just as Warnings? Again, it's only really harmful to have numbers as field/element names if you use them in programming. The easiest thing to do is to change the field names in Q&A before translating.
