Incorrect syntax near '5' where 5 is the beginning of a field name

Hi all
i get the following error
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near
'5'. (#170)
when trying to update or delete a record from an Access Linked table. Adding
a record is fine. There is a field called 5Years, but this has not been a
problem before. Only occurred when database was moved to a new server.
SQL server version on current and old server is 2000 sp3a

It's always been my understanding that fields can't start with certain
characters, like punctuation characters and numbers.
I'm surprised this ever worked. It may have been a bug that was fixed in
your recent release?
Perhaps someone else has a more knowledgeable response.
