Error code 3346

I'm getting an error code 3346, "Number of query values and destination
fields are not the same" when I attempt to run the following code

strNUMBER = Me.Number.Value
strAY = "07/08"
strSQL = "INSERT INTO EMPLOYMENT ([Number], [ACAD_YR]) Values (""" &
strNumber & """),(""" & strAY & """)"
MsgBox strSQL
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

When the message box, displaying the SQL string, comes up the string looks
right. I'm baffled.

Thanks for the help

You should only have one set of ( ) in the VALUES part.

Are you sure the Number field is a Text field?

Assuming Number is a numeric type field, try using:

strSQL = "INSERT INTO EMPLOYMENT ([Number], [ACAD_YR]) _
VALUES(" & strNumber & ",""" & strAY & """)"

And in addition to what Allan and Marshall have both said, you really should
not use an Access Reserved Word for a field (or object) name. Number is an
Access Reserved word and so you really should rename that field or it can
cause unintended problems at various times.

Thanks for the response. Deleting the second set of () worked.

However, I have a second question. Immediately after this code:

strNBR = Me.Number.Value
strAY = "07/08"
strSQL = "INSERT INTO EMPLOYMENT ([Nbr], [ACAD_YR]) Values (""" &
strNBR & """),(""" & strAY & """)"
MsgBox strSQL
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

I'm attempting to run this code

strSQL2 = "SELECT [SNbr],[FILE STATUS] FROM [Participant Table Data] WHERE
[Participant Table Data].[SNbr] = (""" & strNBR & """)"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL2

I'm getting an error message informing me that "A RunSQL action requires an
argument consisting of an SQL statement"

I can't figure out what is wrong with this statement!!

Thanks again

I would like both the SNbr field and the file status fields to appear in my
query and then update my form with the file status field value.

Thanks

You can't run a select statement from DoCmd.RunSQL . It is for action
queries only (Append, Insert, Delete)
