Super simple CF that I use all the time. I got this from the file sqlQueryBuilder by Mislev Kos at Soliant Consulting ...

This function as is will return "fieldname[n]"if called from a repeating field context. Modify it as follows: Quote ( GetValue ( Substitute ( GetFieldName ( field ) ; ["::" ; ¶]; ["[" ; "¶["] ) ; 2 ) )
