SQL query longer than 255 characters in vba?

[davidd31415]

One last question for the day...

How might I perform an SQL query longer than 255 characters in VBA (i'm trying to do an INSERT that is much longer).

I've tried placing the query in separate strings and concatenating them together like this:

Call ErrorLogDB.Execute(sql1 & sql2 & sql3, dbFailOnError)

with no luck.

I'm think there might be a way to do this using a recordset object but i'm not sure on the exact code...

so far i have

with myRS
.AddNew
.Fields("fieldname") = fieldstring
.Update
End With
myRS.Close

If this will work, what do I need before it?

set myrs = db.... ?

Thanks,

David

Syntax errors. Should the
.Execute(sql1 & sql2 & sql3, dbFailOnError)
command work when the 3 strings total more than 255 chars? If so I'l continue investigating the rest of my code/db.

Thanks.

A common mistake is to lack some spaces ...
