Error on INSERT INTO string built with VBA

[sstiebinger]

I'm building out a test database to build proposals from a parts list, and I've run into an issue here when I'm trying to add a part to a proposal.
I've attached a copy of the database with pricing changed to protect the innocent.



If you open frmProposal there's a subform with a button to add a part to the proposal.
That button opens the parts list selector continuous form.... double-clicking any individual line on that selector form should add that line item to the individual proposal.
However, when I try to click it, my code is spitting back that the query is missing an operator, and I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm missing.

Any help appreciated.

You have several issues. One is that you seem to be using variables to determine column names in your SELECT statement. Do you have a column named '1'?

Another issue is that you are using parenthesis on your SELECT statement incorrectly. I do not see a need for them with that statement, leave them out. Here is an example using INSERT INTO with a SELECT statement.

INSERT INTO TableOne (FieldOne, FieldTwo, FieldThree)
SELECT FieldName1, Fieldname2, FieldName3
FROM TableTwo
WHERE FieldName5 = 200;

The variables are used for hard-coded values, not selected values from the table.
i.e.

INSERTINTO Movies (Title, Director, Cost, Profits)
SELECT'Star Wars', name,50000,1000000
FROM Directors WHERE name ='Lucas'

Where the only item actually populated from "Directors" would be NAME... the other items just being values inserted into the fields.

So I got rid of the Parens which helped by changing the error message.
This led me to realize that I had missed a comma between PartID and InstallationHours.

The solution is working now.

Thanks for the help.

Glad you were able to work through it.
