Syntax error in insert into statement - what's the error?
this is the full code here for a button to add data to 2 different tables the weird thing is that i have another form wih a button wih similar function and it works fine wih the same statment Option Compare Database
Private Sub addbutton_Click()
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO Clients(F_Name,L_Name,Phone_Number,E-mail,Gender,Date_of_Birth) " & "VALUES(" & Me.textfname & ",'" & Me.textlname & "','" & Me.textpnumber & "','" & Me.textemail & "','" & Me.textgender & "','-" & Me.textdob & "')"
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO Accounts(F_Name,L_Name,Username,Password,accounttype) " & "VALUES(" & Me.textfname & ",'" & Me.textlname & "','" & Me.textusername & "','" & Me.textpassword & "','" & Me.textaccountype & "')"
clientssubform.Form.Requery
End Sub
First, Password is a reserved word, so use [Password]
.
Second, a date expression must be wrapped in octothorpes: #2017/04/24#
Also, if you won't use parameters, even though recommended, use a function like this to concatenate your values:
' Converts a value of any type to its string representation.
' The function can be concatenated into an SQL expression as is
' without any delimiters or leading/trailing white-space.
'
' Examples:
' SQL = "Select * From TableTest Where [Amount]>" & CSql(12.5) & "And [DueDate]<" & CSql(Date) & ""
' SQL -> Select * From TableTest Where [Amount]> 12.5 And [DueDate]< #2016/01/30 00:00:00#
'
' SQL = "Insert Into TableTest ( [Street] ) Values (" & CSql(" ") & ")"
' SQL -> Insert Into TableTest ( [Street] ) Values ( Null )
'
' Trims text variables for leading/trailing Space and secures single quotes.
' Replaces zero length strings with Null.
' Formats date/time variables as safe string expressions.
' Uses Str to format decimal values to string expressions.
' Returns Null for values that cannot be expressed with a string expression.
