As long as backticks are used around fieldnames, spaces and/or reserved
words are fine, tho it does tend to create more work for the user ;)

I've got a table of people who registered for a convention. Each

I select for people who registered in a particular month or year? The
obvious tests like:
Select * from Capclave2005reg
Where Year('Date Paid') = 2004;
return no rows. I can extract any piece of that date I want in a
SELECT, but can't seem to use it in a WHERE clause at all. There has
to be something really obvious that I'm missing?

Barry,
I strongly recommend getting rid of the spaces in your
column/table names and replace them with an underscore character "_".
You are only creating problems for yourself if you leave the blanks in
the names.
