Quite a lot will allow spaces in field names. Alias's won't always help. You will need to use square brackets ['my field name'] as my_better_field_name
MS Access particularly causes me problems. When ever I am tasked to import data from a MS Access database, I just know that whomever made it used spaces and other dumb characters (question marks) in the filenames, especially if the database has come from the HIC (federal gov) or the AMA. So, I keep the statement queryname['stupidfieldname?'][queryname.CurrentRow] handy when using CF to get at the data.
