Syntax error in SQL Statement

I have re-used this code from another project, however when i place it in my new project, i get a syntax error.

SQLQuery = "SELECT * FROM User WHERE Username = '" & user & "'"
It says I have a syntax error in the FROM Clause. My old project did that line fine.

Now, It will only work if I put [ ] around User ..... [User] . WHy is this the case?

THanks,
Mick

Are you using the same database types (ie: Access, SQL Server, etc.) for both projects?

User could be a reserved word. It's best to stay away from reserved words for column names.
