Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 23:49:53 -0700

I'm new to web design, only know how to use Dreamweaver. I tried to play with Connection string, Recordset, Insert Record and Binding. This is the error that I got when I tried to insert a record (submit a form) into my .mdb datbaase:

Script error detected at line 116.
Source line: MM_editCmd.Execute
Description: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

And this is my .asp file:

I've bold the statement in line 116.

P.s: After inserting the data into database, I should be re-directed to another .asp page.

Do a response.write to see what the sql looks like :

Hide the .execute line for the time being.

If (Not MM_abortEdit) Then
    ' execute the insert
    Set MM_editCmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
    MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection = MM_editConnection
    MM_editCmd.CommandText = MM_editQuery

Response.write "sql="&MM_editQuery&"<br/>"

    'MM_editCmd.Execute
    MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection.Close

    If (MM_editRedirectUrl <> "") Then
      Response.Redirect(MM_editRedirectUrl)
    End If
  End If
