SQL Synatx Incorrect

My SQL code keeps stopping it says that it wants a semi-colon at the
end. I tried but I can't seem to find where it wants it!
Could it be the [UsageDate] = Date(). I need the usage date to equal
the current date.

CurrentDb.Execute ("INSERT INTO PayApplied
(SalesID,PaymentNameID,PaymentAmount,DocID) " & _
"Values(" & Forms!CheckPayment!SalesID & ",9," &
Forms!DepositPad!TxtDepositAmount & "," & Forms!DepositPad!TxtDepositID
& ") " & _
"UPDATE Deposits SET [Applied]=True AND [UsageDate]=Date() " & _
"WHERE Deposits.[DepositID] = Forms!DepositPad![TxtDepositID]")

Any help, I appreciate.
Thanks

The semicolon is usually at the end of the sql statement

Try This...

"WHERE Deposits.[DepositID] = Forms!DepositPad![TxtDepositID];")

Thanks Jeff, Hey what happens if you don't have the semi colon and
access doesn't ask for it?

I think Access is complaining about you firing off two separate SQL
statements
(action queries) in one go.

Try separate them

CurrentDb.Execute ("INSERT INTO PayApplied
(SalesID,PaymentNameID,PaymentAmount,DocID) " & _
"Values(" & Forms!CheckPayment!SalesID & ",9," &
Forms!DepositPad!TxtDepositAmount & "," & Forms!DepositPad!TxtDepositID
& ") ")

CurrentDB.Execute ("UPDATE Deposits SET [Applied]=True AND
[UsageDate]=Date() " & _
"WHERE Deposits.[DepositID] = " & Forms!DepositPad![TxtDepositID])

(I also ensured the value of the reference entered the last statement,
not the
reference)

and see if that works.

That's correct: unlike, say, SQL Server, Access does not allow SQL
statements to be concatenated.

For the record, the semicolon is never mandatory in Access.
