Hello

Ive created insert pages loads of times but on this page i keep getting this error.

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

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

/admin/insert_newsstory.asp, line 90


Line 90 looks like this:

MM_editCmd.Execute

I gather this is where it actually inserts the data?

What am i doing wrong? I tried changing the ODBC driver to the Jet one but this made no difference. I also changed the permissions on the website directories but this had no affect.

Please help me someone.

David

Post your code before line 90.

Maybe 'date' is the one that's cousing problems in case you're using Access as DB. I had lots of problems inserting date into Access. Soon, I started using SQL Server and never again worked with Access so I don't know how to solve it. Try removing date from insert page. At least you'll know if that is the problem.

thanks ill try that
