Update Error

I am trying to update a record but I keep receiving an error, "Data type mismatch in criteria expression." Here is the code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  DoCmd.RunSQL ("Update Caller2 SET Ext = '" & Me!txtExt & "' where CallerID ='" & GlobalCID & "'") 
It has something to do with the where clause. The code "worked" when I forgot to include it. I need to be able to update a bunch of fields, but broke them down one by one to debug, and reached the conclusion it is the where clause. GlobalCID is being assigned properly. The only thing I can think of is CallerID is an autonumber, but I don;t know.

Any help??

If CallerID is a number then you have to leave off those single quotes you're using to enclose it. The single quotes tell the system that it's a string and will treat it as such.

Such a green mistake. Thanks, and sorry for the hassle.
