I'm just wondering why the Jet db engine can't use comments. It should be a
simple task to add that token to the engine. Most other db engines accept
some sort of comments. Certainly ANSI SQL accepts them. Even if it's some
Microsoft proprietary character to signify a comment, please add them in. We
want to document our queries.

Thanks,

You can add comments to a query by adding another output field like --
X:"Now is the time for all...."
Just turn off the output display box.
