TransferText export converts clumn name "File #" to "File ."

When I export a table to a comma delimeted text file and include column names, my column name called "File #" shows up in the file as "File ."

The fields are correctly delimeted but the first row looks like this:

Employee,FILE .,F,P

instead of:

Employee,FILE #,F,P

This happens when I open the table and do FILE - EXPORT, as well as when I use TransferText action in a macro. It happens with or without export specifications. It is important that the resultant file does not include text qualifiers.

In the export specification the column headers are named properly, but when I open the resultant file, the column is named incorrectly.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike.
