asp_databases thread: UPDATE Syntax


Message #1 by "Jeffrey P. Ciesla" <jciesla@o...> on Thu, 6 Apr 2000 16:5:13
I'm running WinNT 4.0, SP4, IIS 4



I am trying to do the following command:



UPDATE Equipment

Set

ID='::ID::',

Lease Schedule # ='::Lease Schedule #::',

Order Ref # = '::Order Ref #::'

Description # = '::Description #::',

Employee Name = '::Employee Name::',

Monthy Lease amt = '::Monthly Lease amt::',

Room Location = '::Room Location::',

Service Tag = '::Service Tag::',

Related CPU = '::Related CPU::'

WHERE ID=::ID::



but i keep getting an UPDATE syntax error. Can 

I do the update if the field names in the database

are more than one word? This is a big legacy db,

so I'm trying to find a way to not have to edit the

whole thing.



Thanks,



Jeff

Try ID='"&ID&"',

Lease Schedule #='''&Lease Schedule #&"',

etc...

Also, by the way, I wouldint put spaces in variable or row names, it just

makes it easier:)

Do either LeaseSchedule# or Lease_Schedule_#....

Good luck

Thanks for your help, I'll try this as soon as i get to work

on Monday and let you know. This database has been in place 

for almost two years. When created, no one thought about not

putting spaces, and I'm trying to find away to not have to go

in and change all the fields. There are too many! 



Thanks again,



Jeff Ciesla
