Hi,
Why does this:
NewData As String
NewData = "data"
strSQL = "Insert into TTable (TField) Values (" & conQuote & NewData & conQuote & ")"
produce this:
"Insert into TTable (TField) Values (data)"
not this:
"Insert into TTable (TField) Values (''data'')" ,
which is the correct one.
Thanks,

It gets ''funny'' to look at when you have more than one field but it works.
One way I''ve done it for one of my systems was this:
DB_SQL = "select * from Collection where serialnumber = ''" & SerialNumber & "''" Set DB_RetrieveSN_DB = DB_database.OpenRecordset(DB_SQL) ''Open SQL Statement 1 If DB_RetrieveSN_DB.EOF Then ''check to see if serial number is not in database DB_database.Execute _ "insert into Collection(serialnumber, date_load) values(''" _ & SerialNumber & "'',''" & CollectionDate.Text & "'')" Else DB_database.Execute _ "update Collection set date_load = " & CollectionDate.Text & _ " where serialnumber = ''" & SerialNumber & "''" End If
- Advice, eh? Well, besides working on your swing...you know, besides that...I'd have to think.
It took me a while to admire your profound solution. Brrr... It''s just that I''m a VB n00b and I''m not at all comfortable with the concept yet - especially the ampersands.
Thanks a bunch, anyway - helped me out there!
PS - Access sample code uses the conQuote solution - it seems to be working for them.
