Syntax error in INSERT INTO

Answer 1

It is likely that one of your Me.textN.Text values has an apostrophe in it or some other unexpected character that is breaking your SQL quotes. The solution to this is to use parametized queries and/or stored procedure instead.

This incidentally, will also protect you form the SQL Injection attacks that take advantage of the same shortcoming in composing SQL commands as strings in the client application.

(NOTE: I am assuming the Me.text1.Text as the StickerCode is a number. Otherwise that's the problem as you are not quoting it the way you do with the other columns.)

Answer 2

You are missing single quotes around your first value. Try

" VALUES('" & Me.text1.Text & "','" & Me.text2.Text & "','" & _
    Me.text3.Text & "','" & Me.text4.Text & "','" & Me.text5.Text & "','" & _
    Me.text6.Text & "','" & Me.text7.Text & "','" & Me.text8.Text & "','" & _
    Me.text9.Text & "','" & Me.text10.Text & "','" & Me.text11.Text & "','" & _
    Me.text12.Text & "')"

Answer 3

First line is missing as '

...
"SET StickerCode='" & Me.text1.Text & "'" & _ 
...

Answer 4

Use a parameterized query, like this:

cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Printlist1(StickerCode, Description, Company, Department, Location, User, SerialNumber, DatePurchased, Tagable, Quantity, Brand, Model)" & _
                        " VALUES(@StickerCode, @Description, @Company, @Department, @Location, @User, @SerialNumber, @DatePurchased, @Tagable, @Quantity, @Brand, @Model)"

cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@StickerCode", Me.Text1.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Description", Me.Text2.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Company", Me.Text3.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Department", Me.Text4.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Location", Me.Text5.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@User", Me.Text6.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@SerialNumber", Me.Text7.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DatePurchased", Me.Text8.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Tagable", Me.Text9.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Quantity", Me.Text10.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Brand", Me.Text11.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Model", Me.Text12.Text)

Note: It is best to keep the order of the parameters in line with the query, as databases like Microsoft Access will not execute the query correctly if the order is altered.
