SQL update statement issue
Posted on 2013-01-08
This is probably something completely simple for most of you.. but i am having a mild issue and Google isn't helping me.
basically i'm using some VBA to update a SQL Express table.
Most of the time this works perfectly .. but on occasion a user enters a "BOAT_KIND" (stored as a variable "strBoat") with a ' in it ( exmaple: TRIMARAN 105' NIGEL ).
Having that extra ' in it is breaking the update statement.
There has to be a way to rearrange

Try this:
strSQL1 = " UPDATE dbo.TblTapeWIP SET BOAT_KIND ='" & strBoat & "' WHERE ITEM_NUM = " & chr(34) & strItemNum & chr(34)

Sorry - I corrected the wrong field:
strSQL1 = " UPDATE dbo.TblTapeWIP SET BOAT_KIND =" & chr(34) & strBoat & chr(34) & " WHERE ITEM_NUM = " & chr(34) & strItemNum & chr(34)

To get rid of any quote mark in a string using Access VBA, use Replace.
Copy-paste the below line into your Immediate window and it will return abcdef
? Replace("abc'def", "'", "")
So just take the above and motify Miriam's SQL above where you have strBoat, and it'll work.

Disregard my above comment. You probably need to insert the ', and Miriam's second SQL statement will work.

You also might want to look into using parameters. These can handle ', ", etc, etc, etc... and they are a method of avoiding SQL injection problems. Check out my post here for an example using Access VBA:

There are a large Range of Names that the clients are using.. when i alter the code per Miriam's suggestion i get an error on this boat name now "C+C 115".
error No: -2147217900
Invalid column name 'C+C 115'.

Give this a try:
Dim qd As New DAO.QueryDef
On Error GoTo EH
CurrentDb.QueryDefs.Delete ("qtemp")
Set qd = CurrentDb.CreateQueryDef("qtemp", "UPDATE dbo.TblTapeWIP SET BOAT_KIND = @BoatKind WHERE ITEM_NUM = @ItemNum")
With qd
.Parameters("@BoatKind") = strBoat
.Parameters("@ID") = strItemNum
End With
qd.Execute
Set qd = Nothing
Exit Sub
EH:
If Err.Number = 3265 Then Resume Next
MsgBox "ERROR " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description

Or this:
Dim qd As New DAO.QueryDef
Set qd = CurrentDb.CreateQueryDef(, "UPDATE dbo.TblTapeWIP SET BOAT_KIND = @BoatKind WHERE ITEM_NUM = @ItemNum")
With qd
.Parameters("@BoatKind") = strBoat
.Parameters("@ItemNum") = strItemNum
End With
qd.Execute
Set qd = Nothing
With out rewriting my complete function i was able to find a solution using the link provided..
basically i'm just formatting the Boat_kind field using the following...
strBoat = Replace(Nz(rs.BOAT_KIND), Chr$(39), Chr$(32))
so i just replace it with a space.. maybe not the best way but this issue has already taken enough of my time.. cost to benefit you know..
Thanks for the solutions.
