Hi,

What is wrong in this SQL statement if I need to run thru VBA where the YEAR
field is a numeric field? I got error a run time error 3144. Syntax error
in Update statement.

strSQL = "UPDATE [" & tblFirst & "] as A SET [A]![YEAR] = 2009 WHERE
[A]![YEAR] = 2008;"
db.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError

Thanks,
Sming
 
strSQL = "UPDATE [" & tblFirst & "] as A SET [A].[YEAR] = 2009 WHERE
[A].[YEAR] = 2008;"

If that fails or generates an error, check the value of tblFirst and see what
it is. Is it a valid existing table name?

That was it. Thank you so much for your troubleshooting.
