Connecting to Oracle missing expression error

[Kozia]

I desperately need help on this one
I have a code someone posted for me but I am running into a missing expression error.

Set conn = New ADODB.Connection 'Define new ADO connection
Set rstmat = New ADODB.Recordset

strc="DSN=oratst0;UID=BUDLINK;DBQ=tst0;ASY=OFF;PWD=TST0BUDLINK"
With conn
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.ConnectionString = strc 'Use parameters provided in strc String to make a DSN connection
.Open 'Open connection
End With


With rstmat
.CursorLocation = adUseClient 'Define recordset as being server side
.CursorType = adOpenKeyset 'Define cursortype
.LockType = adLockOptimistic 'Define locktype allowing updates
.CacheSize = 50
.Source = strSQL
.ActiveConnection = conn 'Define connection to be used for the recordset
.Open 'Open recordset
End With

Stops on .Open line and gives me the following error:
Run-timeerror'-2147467259(80004005)':
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-00936:missing expression


What is the problem anyone!!!????
