Type mismatch error occurs when using SQL statement in VBA

Asked by angie_angie in Access Coding/Macros

Tags: MS Access, VBA

Here is the original question that I posted previously:

I want to update tblTemplate with data from tblSource (see attachment).
The task is to append all the records from the selected fields in tblSource to tblTemplate. And the data type of tblSource.DateA & .DateB is TEXT, but corresponding fields (tblTemplate.Date1 & .Date2) is DATE (with fix format as e.g. 03-Jan-08).
I have already have some code, could someone help to modify these code to suit the above requirement (I prefer to use SQL statement) ?

Now after I tried the SQL code below given by an expert, it works just fine as an append query. But when I tried to incoorporate the SQL statement into my VBA codes. A type mismatch error occurs with the SQL statement.

Can anyone help on this issue?

Thank you very much.
