Syntax Error in Query Expression

Ok, experts, the below query runs my logging routine for error handling.
On some errors, it works fine. On other, it crashes with a 3075. I cannot see anything wrong with the query syntax! JP-TechGroup-495674.flv

strSQL = "INSERT INTO tbl_log ( err_num, err_descrip, err_source, err_module, [timestamp], terminal, t_data, on_statement, [user], signed_on, [language], state, ct2offline)"
strSQL = strSQL & "Values(" & err.Number & ", '" & err.Description & "', '" & err.Source & "', '"
strSQL = strSQL & VBE.ActiveCodePane.CodeModule & "', #" & Now() & "#, " & terminal & ", '" & data & "', "
strSQL = strSQL & TStatus(terminal).onStatement & ", '" & TStatus(terminal).user & "', " & TStatus(terminal).SignedIn & ", "
strSQL = strSQL & TStatus(terminal).Lang & ", '" & State & "', " & CT2offline & ");"

do you have an error handler?

How are you running this action query? If you are using:

currentdb.execute strSQl, dbfailonerror

Then add a line to your error handler (within your error log routine) that will print out the SQL string.

Is [User] a required field in your table? In the SQL string, it looks like that is an empty string.

Where does the last line in the error message come from?

It looks like a repeat of the previous line.

In fact it seems like the SQL statement has been terminated with ; but then something has been added on.

The whole things is bizzare.
This is part of the error handler. It writes the error to a log file and then sends the user to a message stating the problem. I am using currentdb.execute

Depending on when the error occurs, there may not be a user, so sometimes there is data missing, which has never been a problem. On that note, I have seen this query fail like this when all the fields are populated.

Here is where it gets odder still. Below is a debug print of the string when it fails. It looks like the query is running 3 times.

INSERT INTO tbl_log ( err_num, err_descrip, err_source, err_module, [timestamp], terminal, t_data, on_statement, [user], signed_on, [language], state, ct2offline)Values(2482, 'C-Tracker v2.0.3 can't find the name 'USER' you entered in the expression.', 'Project', 'Module1', #9/3/2011 11:51:05 AM#, 10, '', 3, '', True, 1, '', False);
INSERT INTO tbl_log ( err_num, err_descrip, err_source, err_module, [timestamp], terminal, t_data, on_statement, [user], signed_on, [language], state, ct2offline)Values(3075, 'Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''C-Tracker v2.0.3 can't find the name 'USER' you entered in the expression.', 'Project', 'Module1', #9/3/2011 11:51:05 AM#, 10, '', 3, '', True, 1, '', False);'.', 'DAO.Database', 'Module1', #9/3/2011 11:51:05 AM#, 10, '1', 3, '', True, 1, '', False);

Here is an example of the same query working correctly on a debug.print.

INSERT INTO tbl_log ( err_num, err_descrip, err_source, err_module, [timestamp], terminal, t_data, on_statement, [user], signed_on, [language], state, ct2offline)Values(11, 'Division by zero', 'Project', 'Module1', #9/3/2011 11:53:12 AM#, 0, '', 0, '', False, 0, '', False);
