OK.......I'm offiicially stuck at this point. I have this sql statement to insert a new record with 67 fields. Following is the sql code:

vsql = "INSERT into [GpDataDownloadFile] ([FTPFileDate], [GroupA], [Region], [UNIT], [TAXABLE], [BTName], [BTAddress], [BTCityStateZip], [ServiceLoc], [AcctNo]," & _

"[RebateExtUnitPrice], [DiscountExtendedAmount], [TaxDescr], [TaxAmount], [TaxExtendedAmount], [NetDue], [ItemID]" & _
"Values(""" & UpL(x, 1) & """, """ & UpL(x, 2) & """, """ & UpL(x, 3) & """, """ & UpL(x, 4) & """, """ & UpL(x, 5) & """, """ & UpL(x, 6) & """, """ & UpL(x, 7) & """, """ & UpL(x, 8) & """, """ & UpL(x, 9) & """, """ & UpL(x, 10) & """, """ _

When the code hits the following line, I get the "syntax error in INSERT INTO statement" message.

Set RecSet = Connection.Execute(vsql, dbrows, adCmdText Or adExecuteNoRecords)

Can anyone see a problem with the sql statement. If there is a better way to send the data to Access, I would appreciate seeing those suggestions as well. I appreciate the help.......
 
Not that I studied the whole SQL statement but you are missing a ")" after the fields.

vsql = "INSERT into [GpDataDownloadFile] ([FTPFileDate], [GroupA], [Region], [UNIT], [TAXABLE], [BTName], [BTAddress], [BTCityStateZip], [ServiceLoc], [AcctNo]," & _

Many fields there...

I would open a forward-only, optimistic-locking, server-side, empty recordset. Then use the .AddNew method and assign the values to the fields one by one inside a With ... End With block for the recordset object. Of course you also need to use the Update method at the end.

Any way, this
Code:
Set RecSet = Connection.Execute(vsql, dbrows, adCmdText Or adExecuteNoRecords)
is not efficient because the SQL statement is an Insert which doesnt return any records thus the resulting recordset is empty. Instead I would use this
Code:
Cnn.Execute vsql,, 129 'adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords

And I would avoid using reserved words like Connection to point to my connection object but rather Cnn
 

1. After building your INSERT SQL, I would do:
Code:
Debug.Print vsql
This way it is A LOT EASIER to see what you're doing wrong.

2. Also, if you INSERT all fields into a table, you may just say:
Code:
INSERT INTO TableName VALUES(1, 2, 'abc')
As long as you have ALL fields, in right order and right type. That will make your insert sql a lot shorter.


Have fun.
