As others have suggested, using a parameterized query is a much better way of doing what you're attempting to do. Try something like this:

Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Set qdf = dbs.CreateQueryDef("", _
        "PARAMETERS prmCustomerID Long, prmMealID Long, prmTransactionAmount Currency, prmTransactionDate DateTime;" & _
        "INSERT INTO dbo_Transactions (CustomerID, MealID, TransactionAmount, TransactionDate) " & _
        "VALUES ([prmCustomerID], [prmMealID], [prmTransactionAmount], [prmTransactionDate]) ")
qdf!prmCustomerID = txtCustomerID.Value
qdf!prmMealID = txtMealType.Value
qdf!prmTransactionAmount = txtCharge.Value
qdf!prmTransactionDate = Date()
qdf.Execute dbFailOnError
Set qdf = nothing
