Hi,

I'm trying to insert a record into an Access database from some ASP Code.

I have:

...
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblUser (UserID, Date, Comments) VALUES " & _
(" & nID & ", #" & Now() & "#, " & "''" & strComments & "');"
conn.Execute(strSQL)
...

I'd have thought this should work but it doesn't.I just get a "Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement".

My date field, called "Date" (just in case that's a problem!) in my database has no input mask defined, it's just a basic date/time field. I've tried replacing the '#' symbols with single quotes, and doesn't work either. I haven't had any luck finding a definitive example of how to do this, even though it's trivial surely. All the similar examples I've found talk about how to update a record set with a date, or how to set the system locale, etc.

Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?

Got the answer. I simply changed the name of the "Date" field to "DateEntered" and it worked just fine. Obviously the name "Date" is reserved... :o
