My guess is that you have the Allow underscore assignment preference enabled. If you turn that off, you probably won't need the quotes.

Sorry for bothering you, how do I use Symbols with Underscores. I have a database which uses _ as word seperator and so I got names like foo_bar. Now if I access the dictionary with dict at: #foo_bar

I get an error message (nothing more epected)

What am I supposed to do to use such Symbols with _ in it?

Thanks Friedrich

Enclose the name in quotes: #'foo_bar' Cheers, Henry
