syntax error near ',' in insert command

[silambu]

hi,can anybody tell reason for getting syntax error near , while either updating or inserting records in table

Because the syntax of your SQL statement is incorrect.

Show us your SQL statement so we can see it and possibly point out your error.

In addition, whenever you face a problem like this it's a good idea to Response.Write your SQL statement to see what it REALLY says.

The second conn.execute statement looks incorrect.

[conn.execute "insert into enquiry values('" & text(1) & "', '" & text(2) & "', '" & text(3) & "', '" & text(4) & "', '" & text(5) & "', '" & text(6) & "', '" & text(7) & "', '" & text(8) & "', '" & text(9) & "', " & text(10) & ", '" & text(11) & "', '" & text(12) & "', '" & text(13) & "','" & cdate(text(14)) & "', '" & text(15) & "','" & text(16) & "', '" & text(17) & "', '" & text(18) & "', '" & text(19) & "', '" & text(20) & "', '" & text(21) & "') "]

You're specifying values but no fields for them to go into..

The proper syntax for an INSERT INTO statement is as follows..

Conn.Execute "INSERT INTO Enquiry (column1, column2, column3, column4) VALUES ('value1',Value2',Value3',Value4')
 

Try that. If that doesn't work then Set your SQL statements into a variable...

sSQL = "sql statement"

and response.write it out (Response.Write sSQL).. copy it and post it so we can see what it actually says.

The problem most people have with SQL, especially with dynamically constructed SQL statements, is that they're constructing the statement but they don't actually realize that the statement doesn't say what they intended.. thus it throws an error. Therefore it's always a good idea to spit it out onto the page so you can visually see what statement is being passed to the database. It may look correct in your code, especially if you've been looking at the screen for hours, but what's actually generated may be something completely different!
