SQL-syntax error

Question

What is wrong with this SQL-syntax?

INSERT INTO chatt (user, msg, ip) VALUES('testUser', 'testMsg', '81.235.154.103')

The server is running some IIS with an unknown SQL version, but the files has to be in access 2000-format. The fields i've got are id, user, msg, ip, datum. 1st one is a counter, last one is a date/time and the rest are text fields. How do i insert into those three fields?

Answer 1

user may be a reserved word. Try putting it in brackets [user]

Answer 2

Without the actual error message we can't really tell, but two obvious things jump out:

• user is a reserved word; enclose it in square braces: [user]
• Your datum field may be not null , which means you need to provide a value for it in your statement.
