Cannot write a Date field into Access

[Mike]

I am having trouble writing date fields into an Access dbase.
My code is as follows:

<% if request.form("isSubmitted") = "yes" then %>
<%
DIM Conn,strConn,SQLstmt,RS
set Conn = server.createobject("adodb.connection")
strConn = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" &
Server.MapPath("database.mdb")
Conn.open strConn
SQLstmt = "INSERT INTO TestTable (CurDate,CurDateTime)"
SQLstmt = SQLstmt & " VALUES ("
SQLstmt = SQLstmt & "#" & CurDate & "#,"
SQLstmt = SQLstmt & "#" & CurDateTime & "#"
SQLstmt = SQLstmt & ")"
Set RS = conn.execute(SQLstmt)

My database data type is set to Date/Time with CurDate = Short Date and
CurDateTime = General Date.

When I submit this I get the following error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in
INSERT INTO statement.
date.asp, line 50
It was advised to me that I needed to put "#" as the seperator for the field
instead of "'".
(Example: SQLstmt = SQLstmt & "#" & CurDate & "#," NOT SQLstmt =
SQLstmt & "'" & CurDate & "'," )

I can not get it to work either way!

Any help is appreceiated,

Mikeal

You're concatenating a couple of apparent variables (CurDate and CurTime)
into your SQL String. However, I see no code which defines the values of
these variables.

Try writing your query out to the page, and see what you get.

Kevin,

Sorry, this is at the top of my code:

<%
CurDate = Date()
CurDateTime = Now()
%>

I am able to do a <%response.write CurDateTime%> and it shows correctly on
my screen.

I figured it out...

I was attempting to write the variable CurDateTime to the dbase when I
needed to write the field name SubmittedDate.

Thanks for your input.

No, I mean Response.Write SQLStmt

If you mean a <%response.write CurDate%> ..... its works fine.
