The following UPDATE SQL statement gives me an error:

Code:

UPDATE tblCustomers SET FirstName = "Paul", LastName = "Johnson" WHERE ID = 28



Here is the error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Driverserror '80040e14'[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in UPDATE statement

The database is MS Access 2000.

What is wrong with my UPDATE statement?



Thanks,
Scott

The problem is in the double quotes Smile. Replace all double quotes with single quotes and the UPDATE statement will run without a problem.

Yes, using double quotes in a SQL statement is a very common problem Smile.
Just replace the double quotes with single ones and you should be good to go.



Cheers,
