[SOLVED] Getting the "Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e14'" error.

[VegaLA]

Hi all, I'm getting this error on my ASP page from my site:

HTML: Select all

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e14' 
Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement. 
/adfront.asp, line 115

Digging around on various other boards suggest that there may be reserved keywords used in the Access Database that the ASP file is writing too or that the value of the ASP field contains ' and some suggest that all the fields in the ASP form be populated well, none of those solutions apply to my problem unfortunatly. My ASP code was developed in DreamWeaver and I have attached it below, I have marked line 115.

Code: Select all

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated !

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e14'
Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

• This could be from using a reserved word as a column or expression name

• Or it could be a real syntax error.

• Or, it could be that you are trying to send a batch of statements to Access. While the following will work with SQL Server, Jet prohibits it.

I think, it is most probably some syntax error!

I am sure that you've just learn programming since that you are using this AUTO GENERATED codes.
I admit it that I used that program too (Dreamweaver) when I starts learning programming languages like ASP.
My point is, using that so called "auto generated codes" from DW, it is pointless! You'll never know what went wrong with your codes or what they do!
I suggest that you learn the easiest way by hard/hand coded them from scratch, I promises you it will be fun...
For that, I'll give you some of the basic ASP/Access Database Tutorial that I found might helps you with it....

1. ASP/Access Database
2. My Sticky Tutorial

Thanks Monie.
By following your tutorial I was able to create a page that allows me to update my data AND view the file in Dreamweaver too. It also assured me that I am able to update the Access mdb, something I was begining to wonder if GoDaddy had put some over protective security in place !

Thanks again !

Well, great news that you've learn something new! Anyway, it's not my tutorial, it's just a link that I used to learn back in my first time when I started to learn ASP.
If you happen to encounter any problem in the future, feel free to drop by in here again for all your answer and I will try my best to help you.

I'll mark this thread as solved then

Cheers...
