I'm trying to insert a single row into an Access 97 table from a VB program. The SQL I execute is:

INSERT INTO t_problem (appID, date, brief_desc, fix) VALUES (1, #11/06/2002#, "xxx", "yyy")

and I always get the error "Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement."

I've tried with numerous combinations of single/double quotes, empty strings, NULLs, but get the exact same error every time.

I searched your Access forum and found pretty much the same problem from a post of a couple of years ago, but no one could provide a definitive solution.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light!"

The problem, of course, was that "date" is a reserved word. Access lets you create a table with a column called "date", but you can't refer to it directly in a SQL statement like this.
