syntax error, I don't see one :S - ms-access

Question

Apparently i'm getting a syntax error, but I don't see any issues with my code!
if rs.EOF then
'User doesn't exist, create the record
query = currentDate&",'"
query = query + password & "','"
query = query + "user', '"
query = query + email & "', '"
query = query + fname & "', '"
query = query + sname & "'"
handle = add_to_database("users","jdate,password,perms,email,fname,sname",query)
response.write handle
else
response.write "Error: User already exists, please use a different email address"
end if
Here is the add_to_database function
function add_to_database(where,column,values)
'Create query
sql = "INSERT INTO " & where & " (" & column & ") VALUES (" & values & ")"
on error resume next
'Add images to database
conn.Execute sql,recaffected
if err<>0 then
add_to_database = err.description &":"&sql&"<br />"
end if
'Destroy connection
sql = ""
end function
This is the error that is written to the page
Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.:INSERT INTO users (jdate,password,perms,email,fname,sname) VALUES (#2013/8/2#,'af453d19feb2520c8c0d30fb39ebd211','user', 'martynleeba#gmail.com', 'Martyn', 'Ball')

Answer 1

The users table includes a field named password. But password is a reserved word, so can confuse the db engine when it finds it in a query. Rename that field if possible. If you must keep the name as is, enclosed it in square brackets to signal the db engine it is an object name.
handle = add_to_database("users","jdate,[password],perms,email,fname,sname",query)
