Make sure that you have a single quote and then a double quote around each variable.  It looks like you might not have them. Something like this: "UPDATE News SET auteur = '" & auteur & "', news = '" & news & "', etc....    Only put the "'" around textfields, other fields such as Date/Time and Numbers don't need them.

Are you using any special characters as value for the auteur variable, when you're testing? Like accent aigu or quotes or so.

It's good to run a request.form value thru somekind of a filter before finally committing it to the database.  One necessary filter that comes to mind when dealing with text field is the apostrophe to double apostrophes.

Author = Replace(Request.Form("Author"),"'","''")

Another field type that might need conversion is the datetime field.

Normally, if the form field itself already formatted correctly this will not matter, but since we can't really be sure about this, we might as well do a conversion ourself just to be cautious.

A simplest way to convert the date field is just to convert it using VBScript cDate function, althought this might not work all the time depending on the data entered.
PublishDate = cDate(Request.Form("PublishDate"))

I did my own conversion routine for datetime field that will generate a SQL friendly datetime string field.

i.e.  11/20/1998 to Nov 11 1998

Datetime input can be a pain in the butt sometimes.  I ended up coding an ASP/JavaScript Calendar control component to tackle this problem.  So far, it works for me.  I don't have to do any validation on the datetime field anymore :)

You can find the component at http://www.developer.com/directories/pages/dir.activeserverpages.components.commercialcomponents.miscellaneous.2.html
