SQL insert into table using variables

[jamesnkk]

I tried and search around the web, but could not find an answer to it,
You see I am trying to insert 3 variables into the table, but seem like those " and ' cause the problem, No matter how I play with the ' and ", it still don;t work What wrong with the statement, could you please help.



Dim cust As String
Dim tel As String
Dim cont As String

cust = "Albert Longman"
tel = "1234567890"
cont = "123456789"



Dim sqls As String

sqls = "insert into tblinvoice(customer, contact, telephone) values(' " & cust & " '," & cont & " ','" & tel & ")"
DoCmd.RunSQL strstmt

You are missing a couple of single quotes, also what the spaces and you were running strstmt.

Try this

Dim cust As String
Dim tel As String
Dim cont As String
 Dim sqls    As String
 
   cust = "Albert Longman"
   tel = "1234567890"
   cont = "123456789"
 
   sqls = "INSERT INTO tblinvoice (customer, contact, telephone) " _
      "VALUES ('" & cust & "','" & cont & "','" & tel & "');"
   DoCmd.RunSQL sqls
