Check that the column names are not 'Reserved words' in the database you are using. If they are then use alternative column names or wrap in square brackets as follows:
Hope this helps :cool:Code:INSERT INTO tblDiary ( [Year], [Month], [Day], [Time], Event, Venue, Details) VALUES ('1976','12','03','10pm','strEvent','strVenue','strDetails')
Thank you. That was it exactly...Is there a list of reserved words for reference anywhere?
Tom says thanks too :rolleyes:
