What am I doing wrong; problem with INSERT statement (ASP/MS ACCESS)

Hi,

I'm trying to insert a line into a MS access DB using ASP on IIS 5.

This is the line:

con.execute "INSERT INTO newProds(title, desc,catcode) VALUES
('Champagne Muff Scarf','','AC30 4B')"

But it throws up this error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO
statement.

/admin/import/newprods.asp, line 37

I've been staring at the line for 40 mins now and I can't see a damn
thing wrong with it; hopefully a new set of eyes can see a bug!

What am I doing wrong??

desc is a reserved SQL keyword. Either rename your column to DESCRIPTION or

"INSERT INTP newProds(title,[desc],catcode)...

Does column desc allow empty strings?

Thanx for your help guys, you were right; desc is a reserved word. I
fixed it by using [desc].

Cheers,

Simon.

I allways use Descr for Description, you might forget the [] the next time.

Hello all, Strange little problem here... am just trying to insert some basic information into an Access Database using OleDB. I'm getting a "Syntax error in Insert Into statement" when it tries to execute the SQL. The strange thing is if i take the exact SQL being executed from the debugger and insert and execute it using the MS Access query engine, it works fine!
