It works great, but has a problem with columns that have numeric names. The table is not mine so I can not change the columns. When I run the query the column name appears in the column. I tried to find anything wrong in the query and could not. IF I open the query in design mode and click on one of the numeric columns, the query starts to display properly. The table has columns for years from 1996 to the present.
Each column should be a boolean but is set up an integers.

Here is an example:

select 1996 from tblx
column 1996
row1 1996
row2 1996

once I open and touch the query it behaves properly.
select 1996 from tblx
column 1996
row1 0
row2 -1

If I do not open the query and run Object dependencies on the query it displays properly also
