Still daylight here when I replied 😉. None of this explains why Now() didn't work. Maybe [Date] needed the []s.

Hi Duane
Yes, I think you are quite right – you can use a UDF for the default value of a form control bound to a field, but not for the field itself.
Sunday morning and not enough coffee – thanks for the face slap J

Graham,
I'm not sure a user-defined function can be used as a default field value in a table. I tried using my favorite fOSUserName() and Access didn't like it.

Hi Art
I totally agree with Duane about not using "Date" as a field name. You should change it to "LogDate" or some such name that is not a reserved word.
However, I tried the string in your latest message (actually copied and pasted it from your message) and I get a different result from what you report:
INSERT INTO Logs (UserId, Date, Operation) Values ('admin',Now(),'Successfully logged in')
Note that "Now()" (not the current date and time) is embedded in the string.
Duane's idea of setting the default value of LogDate to "=Now()" is also a good one and, extending on that, you could also set the default value of UserId to "=GetThisUser()", where GetThisUser is a public function returning the user name.
Best wishes,
Graham

Art,
Graham suggested you need "#" to delimit date and time values. Did you try these?
I would probably set the default value of [Date] Now() and then use:
Public Sub LoggingActivity(Activity As String)
Dim strSQLInsert as String
strSQLInsert = "INSERT INTO Logs (UserId, Operation) Values ('" & gstrThisUser & "','" & Activity & "')"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQLInsert, dbFailOnError
End Sub
Also, Date shouldn't be used except to call the Date() function http://allenbrowne.com/AppIssueBadWord.html#D

Updated the function to"
Public Sub LoggingActivity(Activity As String)
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO Logs (UserId, Date, Operation) Values ('" & gstrThisUser & "',Now(),'" & Activity & "')"
End Sub
Still recieveing the Insert Into Error;
I checked for the contents of Currentdb.Execute and it is this.
INSERT INTO Logs (UserId, Date, Operation) Values ('admin','10/7/2017 1:01:06 PM','Successfully logged in')
Now() is returning the correct date/time but is formatted incorrectly...???

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 & "')"

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
