On further inspection I have found that my 'pubs' database in sql 7 does not

include the following fields 'pubdate' & 'title'.



I have modified my code to include the following...sadly I continue to

recieve the same error message.



 'Build the order by clause based on request.form("AuthorOption")

   Select Case CInt(m_Request.Form("AuthorOption"))

      Case 0

         strOrderBy = "order by au_lname"

      Case 1

         strOrderBy = "order by au_fname"

      Case 2

         strOrderBy = "order by city"

      Case Else

         strOrderBy = ""

   End Select



   'Set the SQL string

      strSQL = "select au_lname, au_fname, city, state " & _

      "From authors " & _

      strOrderBy

   m_objRs.CursorLocation = adUseClient
