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

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Characters found after end of
SQL statement.

<% Dim strSQL, objRS, strTitle, dblPrice, strISBN, strDescription,
curPrice, curDiscPrice

strISBN = request.querystring("ISBN")


'sql statement for individual books
strSQL = "SELECT tblBookDescription.ISBN,
tblBookDescription.strTitle, tblBookDescription.strDescription,
tblBookDescription.strPublisher, tblBookDescription.dblPrice,
tblAuthors.AuthorID " & _
"FROM tblAuthors INNER JOIN (tblBookDescription INNER JOIN
tblAuthorsBooks ON tblBookDescription.ISBN = tblAuthorsBooks.ISBN) ON
tblAuthors.AuthorID = tblAuthorsBooks.AuthorID; " & _
"WHERE (((tblBookDescription.ISBN)='" & strISBN & "')) "

response.write("strSQL = " & strSQL)
Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

-----------------------------------------error here
objRS.open strSQL, objConn
-----------------------------------------------------------

'response.write("strSQL = " & strSQL)
curPrice = FormatCurrency(objRS("dblPrice"))
curDiscPrice = FormatCurrency((objRS("dblPrice")*.8))
dblPrice = (objRS("dblPrice"))
%>

Lose the semicolon right before your WHERE clause.

This was well-spotted by Dave, but you could have made it easier for us by
showing us the result of this response.write.
