I am getting a syntax error "Line 1 incorrect syntax near ' = ' " when I
run the following:

strSQL = "APPEND tblEarByStatus SET RedHours = " & sngRedTime _
& ", Status = " & intCurEc _
& ", ParcTag = '" & strCurEquip & "'"

With cmd
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.CommandText = strSQL
.CommandType = adCmdText
.Execute
End With

Here is what is in strSql :

"APPEND tblEarByStatus SET RedHours = 126.5, Status = 10, ParcTag = '00176'"

This looks like it should work but it doesn't. The variable types are as
follows :

sngRedTime is single
intCurEc is integer
strCurEquip is string.
Is it obvious what I'm doing wrong?

I'm new to project and SQl Server and I get my ass kicked by syntax errors
every time I try something different. Does anyone know where I can find a
good reference for how to correctly write SQL statements.
Thanks for any help.
 
There is no Append operator in SQL.

strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblEarByStatus " & _
"(RedHours, Status, ParcTag) " & _
"VALUES(" & sngRedTime & ", " & _
intCurEc & ", '" & strCurEquip & "'"
 
I might be wrong but I don't think that there is an APPEND command in
SQL-Server; you should use the Insert command instead:

Insert tblEarByStatus (RedHours, Status, ParcTag)
Values (126.5, 10, '00176')
 
Thanks Douglas, I wasn't even thinking I had the wrong command. I got it to
work after adding the closing parenthesis.

strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblEarByStatus " & _
"(RedHours, Status, ParcTag) " & _
"VALUES(" & sngRedTime & ", " & _

There is no APPEND command in SQL as implemented by MS SQL.
You probably want to user the INSERT command.
Look it up in Books On Line
