  try using the ADOQuery2.GetFieldNames procedure and analise the results.
  
  They are part of TDataset and implemented in the frx editor, should be fine, take a look at the Classes tab in the right side of the frx editor, plenty of good stuff there.

  I tried that showmessage(adoquery2.GetFieldNames); but didn't work. The message Undeclared Idendifier : 'GetFieldNames' appeared. Am I doing something wrong?

  yes, you are.
  As I said, look at the tab, there is the function declaration there, with its required parameters

  Sorry but I can't find the solution. I found the procedure GetFieldNames(List: TStrings) but I don't know how to use it. What should I write in the parenthesis? Can you send me an example? Thanks.

  var List: TStringList;           
  begin
       ADOQuery1.Open;              
       List := TStringList.Create;                                                                                 
       ADOQuery1.GetFieldList(List);
       if List.IndexOf('Company') <> -1 then ShowMessage('Company field exists');
       List.Free;                           
  end.
