ODBC has the ability to retrieve column names for specific tables, but I'd have to build something in such a way as to be cross-database friendly.
Unless you are building some kind of database viewer tool where you don't know what tables you'll be using upfront, there are better ways to use ODBC that don't require your app to need to know about field names directly.
Of course, it depends what you want to do :-)
