I’m using an SQL Query for a recordset (snapshot) in VBA. My SQL works fine in Access’s query builder, but when inserting into VBA I get the error attached.
Does anyone know why this is and if it’s fixable?
Thanks in advance for the help.

A couple of possibilities – are you trying to include some sort of parameter in the SQL string – if so the use of ” and ‘ may be causing problems. The other possibility is that you have a long line that has been separated with a carriage return so the second line of the query is what is causing the error. We would really need to see the section of VBA code where the SQL string is being constructed to help more. You can attach it as a text file, or you can embed it in a message.
