Originally posted by : Chris Snider (csnider@worldnet.att.net) David, Your problem is in teh following code snippet: ...

Based on the comment about building the insert from the form input, it should read like this; ...'build the sql statement based on the input from the form strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblSqlAdd(Date, Game, YourName)" strSQL = strSQL & " VALUES (" strSQL = strSQL & "'" & request("Date") & "' as text1," strSQL = strSQL & "'" & request("Game") & "' as text2," strSQL = strSQL & "'" & request("YourName") & "' as text3" strSQL = strSQL & ")" The original version of the SQL statement "INSERT INTO TABLE...SELECT" is telling the database engine to insert into the specified table the values found on an existing table. Switching your statement to the one I provided will take the data from the form and insert as a new record to the specified table. If you need further explanation or comments, please email me.
