What's wrong with this?

Hi

What's wrong with this?

sql="insert into tblNumbers (Number) values ('" & i & "')"

I get...
Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E14)
Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.
/admin/numberrange.asp, line 14

Many thanks

If you are inserting a number then it should not have quotes around it.
That is a bad practice that Access can get you used to.

Try:

sql="insert into tblNumbers (Number) values (" & i & ")"

RESPONSE.WRITE SQL
RESPONSE.END

What does that show you?

Is Number a numeric column? If so, don't put the value in '.

p.s. NUmber is a reserved word. You may have to use:
sql = "insert into tblNumbers ([Number]) values......"

Couple of thoughts:
1) If "Number" is numeric, it shouldn't need the 'single quotes' around
the value.
2) "Number" may be a reserved word, so try [square brackets] around the
field name.
3) Try response.write(sql) rather than conn.execute(sql) to see what
statement you're actually executing. This won't solve anything by
itself, but it may show you the problem (i.e. the variable "i" doesn't
hold what you think it does).

Oh yeah, is the column called Number of type Number? If so, then you don't
want those apostrophe's surrounding the value.
