st: odbc load variable not found

Hello,
I am trying to import data from an access database table to stata using odbc load. There are a few variables in the access database table with a full stop/period in the variable name, which it seems cannot be loaded into stata using the odbc load command:
- Main_Form.IDNUM
- Main_Form.Genotype
- Lab_PCR.Genotype
- Vaccine.IDNUM
The command I am using is below. It works if I exclude the variables listed above with the '.' in the variable name.
odbc load ///
primarykey="Primary Key" ///
main_formidnum="Main_Form.IDNUM" ///
casereport="Case Report" ///
...
, table(data_export_all)
Is it possible import the variables with '.' in the variable name?
Thanks,
David Puddicombe
