Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'MsgDsc ='.

Syntax error... can't figure it out...

Here is the code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>

<%

set conn = server.createobject ("adodb.connection")
conn.open "HYTECH"

if not IsEmpty(Request.Form("NewsRem")) then
conn.Execute "delete from NewsDB where MsgDsc = " & Request.Form("NewsRemove")
elseif not IsEmpty(Request.Form("NewsUpd")) then
Response.Redirect "./update.asp?EmployeeID=" & Request.Form("NewsUpdate")
end if

set RSNewsRemove = conn.Execute("select * from NewsDB ORDER BY Date ")
Do Until RSNewsRemove.Eof
OptionString = OptionString & "<OPTION VALUE=""" & RSNewsRemove("PostedBy") & """>" & RSNewsRemove("Date") & ", " & RSNewsRemove("MsgDsc") & "</OPTION>"
RSNewsRemove.MoveNext
Loop
