reason being there is no space for your joined string and that created an syntax error

Why not simply:

    Set rsBooked = "SELECT ID FROM tblBooked ORDER BY [ID] ASC"

or:

    Set rsBooked = "SELECT ID FROM tblBooked ORDER BY 1"

everyone is focusing on the SQL, except Rgonzo.

1.  you have to define the SQL correctly, Rgonzo did this  although I cannot understand at all why anybody feels the need to define the SQL string by separating the SELECT and Order By clauses:

strSQL = "SELECT ID FROM tblBooked ORDER BY ID"

2.  The second is that cannot open a recordset by setting a value to a string.

set rsBooked = currentdb.OpenRecordset(strSQL, , dbfailonerror)
