Hi,

I m trying to execute the following statement

Select Max(ImageID) From DA-SMART.dbo.DAScannedImages

it gives me error

Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near -

While the following statement works fine

Select au_id From pubs.dbo.authors

is there a limitation that database names cannot include '-'. I m doing it on sqlserver 2000.
