Hi,
I'm trying to use a button to update data from one table to another one in a
different database, but can't seem to get the syntax correct. Where am I
going wrong? Here's what I have:

Private Sub C_Click()

Dim strSQL As String

strSQL = "INSERT INTO [FY05 Permit Sales] ( Prefix, Location, Cashier,
[Purchase Date], Price, Payment) IN 'S:\PARKING\ACCESS\ACCESS\Multi-Year
Permit Sales Analysis.mdb'" & _
"SELECT Commuter.Prefix, Commuter.Location,
Commuter.Cashier, Commuter.[Purchase Date], Commuter.Price, Commuter.Payment"
& _
"FROM Commuter WHERE (((Commuter.[Purchase Date]) Is Not
Null))"

db.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError

End Sub
 
You're missing some essential spaces, e.g. you have no space between the
apostrophe and the word 'SELECT', or between the words 'Payment' and 'FROM'.
Try putting in a Debug.Print strSQL immediately after the line that builds
the SQL string, and this will become easier to see.
