I get this error when running the code below:

Error

Dim sqlSCIQty As String
Dim sqlSCQty As String

sqlSCIQty = "UPDATE [products/stock] INNER JOIN [Stock Conversion Items] " & _
"ON [products/stock].[Product Code] = [Stock Conversion Items].[Result PC] " & _
"SET [Stock Level] = ([Stock Level] + [Quantity]) " & _
"WHERE [Stock Conversion Items].[CutID] = " & Me.txtPCutID.Value & ";"

sqlSCQty = "UPDATE [products/stock] INNER JOIN [Stock Conversion] " & _
"ON [products/stock].[Product Code] = [Stock Conversion].[Source PC] " & _
"INNER JOIN [Stock Conversion Items] " & _
"ON [Stock Conversion].[SCID] = [Stock Conversion Items].[SCID] " & _
"SET [Stock Level] = ([Stock Level] - [Stock Conversion].[Quantity]) " & _
"WHERE [Stock Conversion Items].[CutID] = " & Me.txtPCutID.Value & ";"

Set db = CurrentDb
db.Execute sqlSCIQty, dbFailOnError
db.Execute sqlSCQty, dbFailOnError
Set db = Nothing

I know that the first statement works and runs fine, but the second one throws up that error, i’m not familiar with such complex update statements so can anyone with any SQL knowledge spot anything?

Thanks in advance,
Bob P

    You could try like this

    sqlSCQty = "UPDATE (([products/stock] INNER JOIN [Stock Conversion] " & _
"ON [products/stock].[Product Code] = [Stock Conversion].[Source PC]) " & _
"INNER JOIN [Stock Conversion Items] " & _
"ON [Stock Conversion].[SCID] = [Stock Conversion Items].[SCID]) " & _
"SET [Stock Level] = ([Stock Level] - [Stock Conversion].[Quantity]) " & _
"WHERE [Stock Conversion Items].[CutID] = " & Me.txtPCutID.Value & ";"

    You need brackets when you have more than 1 join in ms-access
