# 252 BDE Database Transfer Utility Not Dealing with Invalid Field Names Properly

---

Is there a real reason for requiring indexnames to begin with an alpha character? The conversion from PDOX to DBISAM doesn't mind and everything works fine. But in the database utility gets hungup on insisting the index name begins with an alpha character. I had to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to end the program because I wasn't going to change the index name.
