For some reason I can't pin point, it is just bugging me like hell.

<%
dim strQuery
strQuery = "UPDATE Gifts SET"
strQuery = strQuery & " GuestSelected = " & cint(guestID)
strQuery = strQuery & ", DateSelected = " & Now()
strQuery = strQuery & " WHERE GiftID = " & selectGiftID' &
";"

Line 47 -> conn.Execute(strQuery)
%>



Error message

Error Type:

Thanks

Access requies # to delimit dates, but Access also knows what now() is, so
instead of trying to concatenate from ASP, just say

strQuery = strQuery & ", DateSelected = Now()"

And stop using ODBC.

In access, your dates need to be surrounded by #'s.

What's with the single quote after selectGiftID?

You might want to lose that too. Assuming selectGiftID is numeric, change
the last line to...
strQuery = strQuery & " WHERE GiftID = " & selectGiftID

Dates are delimited with # in Access databases.

strQuery = "UPDATE Gifts SET"

strQuery = strQuery & ", DateSelected = #" & Now() & "#"
strQuery = strQuery & " WHERE GiftID = " & selectGiftID

There was a line-wrap issue there in your newsreader. He was actually
commenting out the " & ";"" part. At least that's how I interpreted after
questioning it also.
