sql noob question

Can someone tell me what I've done wrong here?  There is something wrong with my where clause.  If i write the value in idnumber manually everything works fine.  But when i try to assign it as a variable it won't work.

<%
sql ="UPDATE bc SET bc_approved = 1, bc_name='"&name&"', bc_title='"&title&"', bc_address1='"&address&"', bc_address2='"&address2&"', bc_cell='"&direct&"',bc_phone2='"&tollfree&"',bc_phone='"&office&"',bc_fax='"&fax&"',bc_license='"&lic&"',bc_email='"&email&"',bc_spanish='"&spanish&"',bc_quantity='"&quantity&"',bc_backer='"&backer&"' WHERE bc_id = '"&idnumber&"'"

that actually shouldn't matter (though I realize that sometimes it does....)

probably should make sure the value is actually populated by something...

response.write(idnumber)

while you're at it, you could also convert it to an integer

cint(idnumber)
