Memo field and Insert Into vb6 and mdb

[BBBane]

Hi everyone.

I have a problem,have tried to find the solution,but it seams to miss it..

I'm using db created in MS Access 2003,and have a problem with memo field..
I'm beginner so forgive me if I'm doing something crazy,that's the way I so as best...This is the code..

strSQL = "INSERT INTO Table (ID, memoField1, memofield2) "
     strSQL = strSQL & "VALUES (?, ?, ?)"

.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("ID Number", adInteger, adParamInput, , inserter)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("Memo1", adLongVarChar, adParamInput, 400, txtField1.Text)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("Memo2", adLongVarChar, adParamInput, 500, txtField2.Text)

I have used "adVarChar" and "adLongVarWChar",and I need to be able to insert at least 500 characters into memo field...

The problem is that if I put 500,error occurs and it's also if I don't put anything...
As seen I'm using parameters,also ADO and mdb...
I am able to insert other data that is before this,and it's in the database so I have access to it and am able to insert just not in the memo field.

The error is next:
Run-time error '-2147217900 (80040e14)':
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement

Before it was about missing parameters and then about incomplete info (without 500)..

I hope I gave enough of info s o You can help me.
Thank You for Your time and effort..

Is your table actually called Table? If so, change it to something else - as that is a reserved word, and using it causes errors like this one.

If that doesn't solve it, try using adVarChar for the memo fields, and just set the size to something large enough for your needs (perhaps 1000).

Thank You for the replay.
No it's not called Table,I just wanted to avoid meaningless names (for others)...
Yes,I tried using adVarChar and got an error "invalid precision value"....
That's why I started using adLongVarChar...

Now I don't know if this may be the case,but just to be sure...
I'm using If statements,and after the first Insert Into is done I set do this

Set CatComm = Nothing

and before it starts with another Insert statement

Set CatComm = New ADODB.Command

There should be nothing wrong with SQL statements,I only receive errors on memo fields...

And I found on internet that adVarChar can store up to 250 characters?
Thank You.

It's not a good idea to do that kind of thing - as we often find that problems are caused by something that has been hidden from us like that.

It is best to show us the actual code without edits, as the issue could well be something that you think is fine.

That's an odd error, I don't think I've seen that for VarChar before.

The size limit is not based on ADO, but on the driver/provider you are using (SQL Server 2005 allows 8000 for adVarChar).

I'm afraid that amount of code is virtually meaningless, we can't tell anything from it - we'll need to see much more of it to be able to tell if there is something wrong.

Thank You "si_the_geek".
I'm sorry,I wasn't able to come sooner,I resolved the problem by putting "[]" brackets around memo fields names... and used "LongVarChar" for parameter type.
Thank You for You're time and help.

PS: For the table names,I did that because I already had used those names in db and done search trough them and it had no error so I was more concentrated on the parameters as the problem,than that.
