Description:
I tried to get access to a view from MS EXCEL /MS QUERY and got the following message (in German):

Auf die tabelle rohehastra.sortgrupp71 kann nicht zugegriffen werden

This is the SQL-Statementthat that belongs to the view:

CREATE ALGORITHM=UNDEFINED VIEW `rohehastra`.`sortgrupp71` AS select `r`.`VKH03` AS `Anz Schuppen` from `rohehastra`.`roh2004` `r`;

Deleting a space leads to success

CREATE ALGORITHM=UNDEFINED VIEW `rohehastra`.`sortgrupp70` AS select `r`.`VKH03` AS `AnzSchuppen` from `rohehastra`.`roh2004` `r`;
                            ^^^   
Is this a wanted behaviour? In query browser that's no problem!

How to repeat:
see above

Could you please provide a test case script with all statement
because on my own I was unable to reproduce on Excel 2003.

Thanks in advance.

It's the view

CREATE ALGORITHM=UNDEFINED VIEW `rohehastra`.`sortgrupp71` AS select
`r`.`VKH03` AS `Anz Schuppen` from `rohehastra`.`roh2004` `r`;

that makes the problem and the problem is solved by deleting the space in `Anz Schuppen` so that it is `AnzSchuppen`

I can't do the query because I get no access (look at the png) and can't choose to add the view. BTW: I use EXCEL2003 with every available patch
