The source variable should be checked using the .TokenTypeName property before accessing any of its members. For example:

Query.Parse("select t1.MyName, 'Hello' as Message from NameTable T1")
for I = 1 to Query.Column.Count
    if Query.Column[i].Source.TokenTypeName = "ColumnReference" then
        ui_msg_box("Column is a reference", Query.Column[i].Source.Name)
    end if
next
