How to use .Locate when column name is a keyword

Using XE5 and ADO, how can I use TADOQuery.Locate

when the column name is a keyword?

For example, we have a table with a column named Desc

which is a keyword.

The code below generates a runtime error (exception class EOleException

with message Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another

):

ADOQueryQP1.Locate('Desc', 'FindMe', [])

      

        
        
        
      

    

I've tried [] and double quotes around Desc

.

With [Desc]

or "Desc"

(single or double quotes) we get an exception class EDatabaseError

with a message ADOQueryQP1: Field '[Desc]' not found

.
