    On the line: s = s & "(" & f1 & f2 & f3 & f4 & f5 & f6 & f7 & f8 & ")" You need to seperate the values with commas s = s & "(" & f1 & "," & f2 & "," & f3 & "," & f4 ... etc I would recommend using Stored procs though as you are performing no validation and are wide open to injection attacks

    Hi, I think he had given it. He assign values in those variables along with ',' also. I cant find an error. Thank you.

          Could you give an indication as to the error which is being returned from SQL when you try and execute the query?

            Is this an exact copy from your code? If so, there is an extra ' at the end. Also, what is the type of field dte in your database? If it is a date, you cannot pass in a string, AFAIK. What is the error message you get, anyway?

                  Ok - but did you check out the suggestions I made earlier? Date fields cannot be passed in as strings to Jet databases.

                    It looks like you dont have the two fields separated - shouldnt it be '7/2/2007','Vodafone'... Also, the first is a date field, IIRC date fields for Jet databases should be enclosed by # not quotes.

                        Just remember this... for text (string) variables, enclose data in quotes - like 'Vodafone' for number variables, just the value will do for date variables, enclose data with # - like #7/2/2007# and between each field, you should have a comma. Hope this helps.

                              Ignore ALL the other replies you've gotten in this thread. They're all crap. Drop all this string concatenation garbage and do it the correct way with a parameterized query. See this article[^] by Colin Angus Mackay for more information as to what they are and why your shooting yourself in the foot doing it your way. You're actaully making is harder on yourself by building a string for your parameters.

                                  I did "simply" tell you. You're building an SQL query by appending multiple strings together. This introduces the opportunity for a lot of bugs and security holes into your code. Read the article I gave you a link for and about half way down, it'll explain what a parameterized query is and how to put it together to solve most of your security and readability problems.
