Insert into error with java and MS Access

[2BaCook]

Hi, I have an Access database that I am creating a java front end to.
I am trying to insert a record into a table and get a problem whenever
I try to insert into my "Number" column.

Here is my table schema:
Column 1 Name: Number Type: VARCHAR
Column 2 Name: Street Type: VARCHAR
Column 3 Name: Phone Type: VARCHAR
Column 4 Name: Comments Type: LONGCHAR
Column 5 Name: Pets Type: VARCHAR
Column 6 Name: id Type: VARCHAR
Column 7 Name: Phone2 Type: VARCHAR
Column 8 Name: Email Directory Type: BIT
Here is my insert statement that creates the error:
queryString = "INSERT INTO Homes (id,Street,Number) VALUES ('5000a',
'Test Bend','5000');" ;
m_statement.executeUpdate(queryString);

This statement works, however:
INSERT INTO Homes (id,Street,Phone) VALUES ('5000b', 'Test
Bend','555-555-1234');

Here is the error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO
statement.
[Ljava.lang.StackTraceElement;@1a786c3

Just guessing.

Phone numbers usually aren't stored as numbers in a table...usually they
are strings. So I can understand why the phone number works if that is
the case. I'm not sure why you want to stuff a string into a number
field unless the field Number, in the table, is a string. What happens
if you remove the single quotes around the number 5000?
