Running SQL in VBA, Error code 3131

[ainemc76]

Hi

I am trying to debug the following code and I get a Error code "run time error 3131 syntax error in 'FROM' clause" it looks perfect to me any suggestions. The code breaks on db.execute sSQL.

Function AuditEditBegin(sTable As String, sAudTmpTable As String, sKeyField As String, _
    lngKeyValue As Long, bWasNewRecord As Boolean) As Boolean
'On Error GoTo Err_AuditEditBegin
    'Purpose:    Write a copy of the old values to temp table.
    '            It is then copied to the true audit table in AuditEditEnd.
    'Arugments:  sTable = name of table being audited.
    '            sAudTmpTable = name of the temp audit table.
    '            sKeyField = name of the AutoNumber field.
    '            lngKeyValue = Value of the AutoNumber field.
    '            bWasNewRecord = True if this was a new insert.
    'Return:     True if successful
    'Usage:      Called in form's BeforeUpdate event. Example:
    '                bWasNewRecord = Me.NewRecord
    '                Call AuditEditBegin("tblInvoice", "audTmpInvoice", "InvoiceID", Me.InvoiceID, bWasNewRecord)
    Dim db As DAO.Database           ' Current database
    Dim sSQL As String

    'Remove any cancelled update still in the tmp table.
    Set db = DBEngine(0)(0)
    sSQL = "DELETE FROM " & sAudTmpTable & ";"
    db.Execute sSQL

    ' If this was not a new record, save the old values.
    If Not bWasNewRecord Then
        sSQL = "INSERT INTO " & sAudTmpTable & " ( audType, audDate, audUser ) " & _
            "SELECT 'EditFrom' AS Expr1, Now() AS Expr2, NetworkUserName() AS Expr3, " & sTable & ".* " & _
            "FROM " & sTable & " WHERE (" & sTable & "." & sKeyField & " = " & lngKeyValue & ");"
        db.Execute sSQL, dbFailOnError
    End If
    AuditEditBegin = True

Exit_AuditEditBegin:
    Set db = Nothing
    Exit Function

End Function

Thanks a million

Hi,

SPACE separation -- check it out...

        sSQL = "INSERT INTO " & sAudTmpTable & " ( audType, audDate, audUser ) " & _
            "SELECT 'EditFrom' AS Expr1, Now() AS Expr2, NetworkUserName() AS Expr3, " & sTable & ".* " & _
            [highlight yellow]" [/highlight]FROM " & sTable & " WHERE (" & sTable & "." & sKeyField & " = " & lngKeyValue & ");"

Skip,
