Syntax Query in Update Query

14 New Member
I have these variables:

Dim str1Year As String
Dim str5Years As String
str1Year = "1 Year"
str5Years = "5 Years"

and this query statement

If Me.frmEvergreen .Value = 1 Then
DoCmd.RunSQL ("UPDATE tblQuotes SET tblQuotes.[EvergreenWarran ty]= str1Year WHERE (((tblQuotes.[QuoteID]= '" & Me.txtQuoteID.V alue & "';")
ElseIf Me.frmEvergreen .Value = 2 Then
DoCmd.RunSQL ("UPDATE tblQuotes SET tblQuotes.[EvergreenWarran ty]= str5Years WHERE (((tblQuotes.[QuoteID]= '" & Me.txtQuoteID.V alue & "';")
End If

when i run this query, the system generates an error and says there is a syntax error in this statement : tblQuotes.[EvergreenWarran ty]= str1Year

can someone hint me on how to set the string values in teh update query?

It should be
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. "tblQuotes.[EvergreenWarranty] = '" & str1Year & "'"
  2.

I'm trying to update the address record of an existing record in my mdb with values from another existing record in the same table.
