Question

Here is a line of code in SQL I am attempting to use in VB6.

Dim Sqlstring As String

Sqlstring = "Update TroubleTickets set ResolvedDate = ' " + DateValue(Now) + "' where      Title ='" + Trim(TicketComboBox.Text) + "'"

I am getting an error that says types do not match when i run the debugger.

any suggestions?

Dim Sqlstring As String

Sqlstring = "Update TroubleTickets set ResolvedDate = ' " & DateValue(Now) & "' where      Title ='" & Trim(TicketComboBox.Text) & "'"

The concat-operator in VB is the ampersand &.
You get a type mismatch error because VB expects a number if you use +.

You should also consider using prepared statements to insert parameters into SQL queries.
