Author DropDown DataWindow Naming Issue

I wonder if anyone can enlighten me on this weird naming issue I'm
having with a DDDW column in PB 6.5?

I inserted the column into the SQL, and then went to add the column
object onto the DataWindow, selecting the "job_job_region_code" column
to be displayed, setting it up as a DDDW and all that. However, the
name defaulted to blank instead of "job_job_region_code", and the
column was not accessible in scripts.

If I try to set the column name to "job_job_region_code", the system
tells me that " 'job_job_region_code' is not a valid name or is already
in use." In order to manipulate the column in scripts, I have to change
the name to something else.

I can do it this way as a workaround, but I've found the same problem
on several screens, and I would like to follow the naming convention
within the screen.

Any suggestions anybody?

Paul

(P.S. Apologies for posting this question again, but I thought maybe
more people would read it if it was a separate thread.)
