Question

I’m trying to run this piece of code:

    strSQL = "SELECT * FROM ORDER_DATA WHERE ORDER=" & curOrder
    Set rst_orderData = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)

The ORDER column from ORDER_DATA is a double number type, and curOrder is of type double as well.

The error I’m getting points to the second line and says “Syntax error on WHERE clause”.

Why do you think this is? Is it a possible type conflict?

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

ORDER is reserved word, as in ORDER BY. You have to put it in brackets.

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM ORDER_DATA WHERE [ORDER]=" & curOrder
