    "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" in SQL statement

    hey there,

    Here's my complete code for a delete button that deletes a record in a Hierarchical Flex Grid.

    Code:
        Dim rsTour As New ADODB.Recordset
        Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
        Dim strSQL As String
        cn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
        "Data Source=" & App.Path & "\Luckshan Tours & Travels.mdb;" & _
        "Persist Security Info:False"
        cn.Open
        msg = MsgBox("Delete Record?", vbYesNo)
        If msg = vbYes Then
        strSQL = "Delete From Tour Where [Tour ID] = '" & fgdTour.TextMatrix(fgdTour.Row, 1) & "'"
        cn.Execute strSQL
        strSQL = "Select * From Tour"
        rsTour.Open strSQL, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockPessimistic
        Set fgdTour.DataSource = rsTour
        End If
        Set fgdTour.DataSource = rsTour
        If rsTour.RecordCount <> 0 Then
        rsTour.Update
        End If
    The code works great for two of my forms, but for the other two it doesn't. It gives me an error saying "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" and highlights the statement :

    Code:
    cn.Execute strSQL
    Please help.... I've gone over and over the code for errors but could find none, I mean it works perfectly for the other two forms.

    Re: "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" in SQL statement

    What data type is the TourID field in the database?

    If it isn't Text/String based, there is an error in the way you specified the value. For an explanation and examples of delimiters to use around values within SQL statements, see the article How do I use values (numbers, strings, dates) in SQL statements? from our Database Development FAQs/Tutorials (at the top of the Database Development forum)

    You should also check what your SQL statement contains at the time of the error, because you cannot tell from just the code what it will be.
