INSERT INTO tablename gives error
Posted on 2011-03-05
I have two out of five of my tables in a MS Access database not allowing an INSERT INTO statement. It gives me the error:
The Insert Into statement contains the following unknown field name: CurrMonthName.
My SQL statement goes something like this:
"Insert Into DataTable (CurrMonthName,CurrYear) Values (@CurrMonthName,@CurrYear)
I've tried deleting the table and re-creating it. I removed the CurrMonthName field in the statement so it's just asking for CurrYear, and I still get the same error, except of course it says the unknown field name = CurrYear. I've also tried inserting the data directly from an Append Query in MS Access, and that won't work either.
Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

Here is the general syntax:
INSERT INTO Table2 ( FIELD1, FIELD2 )
SELECT Table1.FIELD1, Table1.FIELD2
FROM Table1;
Not sure about you @ symbols ...
mx
INSERT INTO Table2 ( FIELD1, FIELD2 )
SELECT Table1.FIELD1, Table1.FIELD2
FROM Table1;
Not sure about you @ symbols ...
mx
This is my code, and it works for my other forms:
I will try the code you posted, and get back to you. Thank you!

str = "INSERT INTO DataTraffic " & _
"(CurrMonthName,CurrYear,StoreName,Traffic) " & _
"VALUES (" & _
"@CurrMonthName,@CurrYear,@StoreName,@Traffic)"
myCommand = New OleDbCommand(str, myConnection)
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CurrMonthName", obj3.CurrMonthName)
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CurrYear", obj3.CurrYear)
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@StoreName", obj3.StoreName)
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Traffic", obj3.Traffic)

The syntax you're working with is more SQL Server or Oracle based (think Stored Procedures). Access doesn't work that way.
To run your Insert statement, just issue it directly:
sSQL = "Insert Into DataTable (CurrMonthName,CurrYear) Values ('" & obj3.CurrMonthName & "','" & obj3.CurrYear & "')"
YourConnection.Execute sSQL
If CurrYear is Numeric, you don't need the single quotes around those values.
