Hi everyone I am coding in VBA using Access 2013 I wrote my code two different ways and keep getting a syntax error. Here's my code.
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO GroupVolunteers(Group, Leader, Name,
phone, email, EmergencyContact, EmergencyContact) " & _
" VALUES(" & Me.txtGroup & "','" & Me.cboLeader & "','" & Me.txtName & "','"
& Me.txtEmail & "','" & Me.txtPhone & "','" & Me.txtEmergencyContact & "','"
& Me.EmergencyNumber & "','" & Me.txtRegNumber & "')"
'clear form
cmdClear_Click
'refresh data in list on form
frmStudentSub.Form.Requery
End Sub
OR
'when we click on button Add there are two options
'1. for insert
'2. for update
If Me.txtRegNumber & "" = "" Then
'this is for insert new
'add data to table
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO GroupVolunteers(Group, Leader, Name,
phone, email, EmergencyContact, EmergencyContact) " & _
" VALUES(" & Me.txtGroup & "','" & Me.cboLeader & "','" &
Me.txtName & "','" & _
Me.txtEmail & "','" & Me.txtPhone & "','" &
Me.txtEmergencyContact & "','" & Me.EmergencyNumber & "','" &_
Me.txtRegNumber & "')"
Else
'otherwise (Tag of txtID store the id of student to be modified)
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE GroupVolunteers " & _
" SET Group=" & Me.txtGroup & _
", leader='" & Me.cboLeader & "'" & _
", name='" & Me.txtName & "'" & _
", email='" & Me.txtEmail & "'" & _
", phone='" & Me.txtPhone & "'" & _
", EmergencyContact='" & Me.txtEmergencyContact & "'" & _
", EmergencyNumber='" & Me.txtEmergencyNumber & "'" & _
", NumberVolunteers ='" & Me.txtNumberVolunteers & "'" & _
" WHERE RegNumber = " & Me.txtRegNumber.Tag

Answer 1

" VALUES(" & Me.txtGroup & "', ...
Think of how that's going to end up in your statement:
VALUES(<Me.txtGroup>', ...
In other words, you're either missing the opening quote for a character-type column or you have too many for a numeric-type column. It should be one of:
" VALUES('" & Me.txtGroup & "', ... // for character-type column
" VALUES(" & Me.txtGroup & ", ... // for numeric-type column
That should fix your insert in both code blocks, you may also want to examine the update in the second code block as well. It has no quotes on the group column which is okay if it's numeric-type but probably not if it's character-type.
