I may be tired but I am pulling my hair out at this one.

Here is the error
Code: 
icrosoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.6.16]You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(date_, first_, second_, third_, fourth_, players_) values (2014-9-13,40,25,13,0' at line 1

/payoutsasp.asp, line 15

here is my BASIC code that I feel as if I have written a million times
Code: 
strSQL = "insert into payouts set (date_, first_, second_, third_, fourth_, players_)"
strSQL = strSQL & " values "
strSQL = strSQL & "("&var6&","&var1&","&var2&","&var3&","&var4&","&var5&")"
conn.execute (strSQL)
'response.write (strsQL)

Now the first_, second_, third_, fourth_, fields are Decimal 4,2 because this is to reflect money
the player_ is INT as it will always be a whole number
the date_ is a date field

here is the response.write (strSQL)
Code: 
insert into payouts set (date_, first_, second_, third_, fourth_, players_) values (2014-9-13,40,25,13,0,16)

I know this is simple stuff, but what am I missing here?
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
For MySql I think you need to wrap the date inside single-quotes

The data is the same as a SQL Db. '"&var1&"' for text and "&varr1&" for anything not text. This is how I have been doing this for years.
I thought of the same as you and changed everything to reflect that but kept getting mismatches because of the syntax.

i do appreciate the reply though

guitarzan right you need ' around date
so it should be

SQL: 
insert into payouts set (date_, first_, second_, third_, fourth_, players_) values ('2014-9-13',40,25,13,0,16)

It has something to do with the "&var5&" I think.

I wrapped as you sugggested and still get this as the write sql

Code: 
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.6.16]You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(date_, first_, second_, third_, fourth_, players_) values ('2014-9-13',40,25,13' at line 1

/payoutsasp.asp, line 15

now in where the 13 is in the data, there should be a 16 after that. I do a response.write var5 and it displays 16 but it is not putting it into the sql line for some reason. Here is the entire page of code. It is not much as I JUST started this page..

Code: 
<!--#include virtual="/inc/connection.asp"-->
<%

var1 = request.form("first_")
var2 = request.form("second_")
var3 = request.form("third_")
var4 = request.form("fourth_")
var5 = CInt(request.form("players_"))
var6 = request.form("date_")
response.write (var5)

strSQL = "insert into payouts set (date_, first_, second_, third_, fourth_, players_)"
strSQL = strSQL & " values "
strSQL = strSQL & "('"&var6&"',"&var1&","&var2&","&var3&","&var4&","&var5&")"
conn.execute (strSQL)
'response.write (strsQL)

'response.redirect "payouts.asp"
%>

here is the form code

Code: 
<%


d_now = date()
d = split(DateAdd("d",1,d_now),"/")
sdate = d(2) & "-" & d(0) & "-" & d(1)

%>
<body>
<form action="payoutsasp.asp" method="post">
<table>
	<tr>
		<td>Date:</td>
		<td><input name="date_" type="text" value="<%=sdate%>" /></td>
		<td>&nbsp;</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td># players</td>
		<td><input name="players_" style="width: 47px" type="text" value="0" /></td>
		<td>&nbsp;</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>1st</td>
		<td><input name="First_" style="width: 47px" type="text" value="0" /></td>
		<td>&nbsp;</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>2nd</td>
		<td><input name="second_" style="width: 47px" type="text" value="0" /></td>
		<td>&nbsp;</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>3rd</td>
		<td><input name="third_" style="width: 47px" type="text" value="0" /></td>
		<td>&nbsp;</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>4th</td>
		<td><input name="fourth_" style="width: 47px" type="text" value="0" /></td>
		<td>&nbsp;</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td colspan="2"><input name="Submit1" type="submit" value="submit" /></td>
		<td>&nbsp;</td>
	</tr>
</table>
</form>

Surround the line "conn.execute (strSQL)" with the code below, then post the results.

Code: 
On Error Resume Next
conn.execute (strSQL)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
   response.write "Got Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description & "<BR>" & strSQL
   response.end
End If
On Error Goto 0

Wow... we all missed something pretty obvious...

Code: 
insert into payouts [s][highlight #FCE94F]set[/highlight][/s] (date_, first_, second_, third_, fourth_, players_) values ('2014-9-13',40,25,13,0,16)

WOW. We sure did. This explains how something so simple can cause people to go crazy.

Thanks so much!!
