RE: [MS_AccessPros] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

 

Hi Art

You need to delimit SQL dates with hash/pound signs (#) not quotes, and they need to be formatted in a particular way.  However, in your case you wish to insert the current date and time, and SQL understands the Now() function, so you don't need to substitute its value and delimit it.

Try this:

strSQL = "INSERT INTO Logs (UserId, Date, Operation) Values ('" & gstrThisUser & "',Now(),'" & Activity & "')"

Best wishes,
Graham

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

 

 

I am receiving the following error when I run the function below:

Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

 

This is the call to the function:

 modUtilities.LoggingActivity "Successfully logged in"

 

The function defined:

 

 Public Sub LoggingActivity(Activity As String)
 Dim strSQL As String
 strSQL = "INSERT INTO Logs (UserId, Date, Operation) Values ('" & gstrThisUser & "','" & Now() & "','" & Activity & "')"
  CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO Logs (UserId, Date, Operation) Values ('" & gstrThisEmpName & "','" & Now() & "','" & Activity & "')"
  End Sub

  Contents of strSQL:

INSERT INTO Logs (UserId, Date, Operation) Values ('admin','10/6/2017 3:22:31 PM','Successfully logged in')

 

And for the life of me that looks like it should work....

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank you,

Art Lorenzini
