Just a guess off the top of my head... Maybe you've got " chars present in your query strings to Access if you're generating SQL on-the-fly? If so you could try doubling up any potential " chars in data itself via Replace(str, """", """"""). Note that in VB script you also need to double up " chars inside quotes. E.g. for the above code: Replace(str, """", """""") is actually seen as Replace(str, """, """") to VB script. Hope this helps.

800A0005 - Invalid procedure call or argument This error code, 80071392 occurs when you mistype a keyword or method. Code 800A0005 is an easy error to solve. Introduction to Error Code 800A0005 This runtime error, 800A0005 occurs when you execute a VBScript. My suggestion is that there is a VBScript does not understand a keyword that you are using in your script. The Symptoms You Get 800A0005 The script does not execute as you hoped, instead you get a WSH error message. One possibility is that you are using a WSH object or method that has been misspelled. The Cause of Error 800A0005 Your VBScript contains an illegal method, probably due to a typing mistake, an extra letter. Check the spelling of your objects. Note Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error. The Solution Check the spelling of your variables and methods. Look for clues particularly the Line: number and check the Char: references. In the example it is Line 3. Char : 1. In this instance the: 'Error: Type mismatch: 'Createbject'' tells us where the mistake is to be found. In the case of runtime errors you can use this work around. Add this line: On Error Resume Next. ‡ Example of VBScript with 800A0005 Createbject- Missing letter o Createobject - Corrected, o inserted ' VBScript.
