INSERT command with Access

[John Straumann]

Hi all:

I am trying to update an Access table from an ASP.NET page and am getting a
"syntax error" statement back, but I can't for the life of me see what is
wrong with the string shown below. All the data items in Access are set to
Text.

INSERT INTO test( t1, t2, t3, t4, t5 ) VALUES( 'test1', 'test2', 'test3',
'test4', 'test5')

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Do you need a space between "VALUES" and the "("?

Maybe it's something else than a true "syntax error"; for example you have a
problem with the connection string or one of the name t1, ... is mispelled
(ie. not the same name in the underlying table).

You must also make sure that the account '<machinename = your
computername>\ASPNET' has the proper rights to write to the mdb file.

Finally, if you have used something else than t1, ..., t5; then make that
none of these names are a reserved word.

Maybe double quotes " must be used instead of single quote ' for delimiting
the string constants?

I'd be inclined to go with...
"INSERT INTO test(t1, t2, t3, t4) VALUES(?,?,?,?);"

and then add parameters to the command with the names "t1" "t2" in order
etc...

Hey all:

Thanks for the responses. Apparently the name of one of my columns, "time"
is a reserved word, I changed it and it works...
