insert unescaped single quotes; and incorrectly delimited datatypes. There is a fifth cause, and that is a genuine syntax error resulting from a typo, or otherwise misconstructed SQL statement. Assuming that you are sure this fifth cause is not applicable in your case, here's how to deal with the other four. Reserved Words and Embedded Spaces The most common culprits among reserved microsoft jet database engine error '80040e14' syntax error in insert into statement words are NAME and PASSWORD, which at first glance appear to be perfectly reasonable choices for field names in, say, a User table. What can be more confounding is that PASSWORD doesn't appear on this list of reserved words in Access. However, the fact is that in an ASP.NET application, you aren't dealing with an Access database. It's actually a Jet 4.0 database, and there is a separate list of reserved words for Jet 4.0 that does indeed include PASSWORD (but not NAME). Best advice is to familiarise yourself with both lists (and the one for Sql Server Reserved Words too) and avoid using any of them as a habit. However, if you can't change your field names, you will have to srround them with [ ] brackets: Select [name], [password], emailaddress From Users The same resolution applies to embedded spaces in field names: change them or surround them in [ ] brackets: Select [user name], userpassword, [email address] From Users When using the Query Builder within Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer, you will find that all field names are surrounded

actual cause of the error. There are a number of possible causes: Scenario 1 - Syntax error in FROM clause Scenario 2a - Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement Scenario

2b - Syntax error in UPDATE statement Scenario 3a - Syntax error (missing operator) syntax error in from clause access - caused by ' mark Scenario 3b - Syntax error (missing operator) - incorrect delimiters Scenario 4 - Syntax error - syntax error (missing operator) in query expression division by zero error Scenario 5 - Mismatched CommandTypeEnum value Scenario 1 - Syntax error in FROM clause This commonly occurs when you have a table name that is a reserved word or your table name http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/article/76/80040e14-ms-access-syntax-error-messages contains a space (eg "table 1"). Certain words (like table, field, date, select, password, level etc) are reserved by either ADO, OLEDB or by Access for use as commands or system objects. You can get a list of words reserved by the Jet database engine in Microsoft Knowledge article: Q248738. The Microsoft MDAC Platform SDK outlines ADO/OLEDB reserved words. You should never use these words as names for tables or fields nor http://www.adopenstatic.com/faq/80040e14.asp should you have spaces in your tablenames. It is recommended that you rename your offending tables/fields and adjust your SQL statement accordingly. If this is not possible you should enclose your offending table names with [ ] marks, eg SELECT field1 FROM [table] Scenario 2a - Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement. This commonly occurs when your field name is a reserved word (see scenario 1 above). Adjust your field names and SQL statement accordingly and you should avoid the problem. If you can't adjust your fieldnames you can use [ ] marks to delimit the field names, eg INSERT INTO table1 ([field], [password]) VALUES ('value1', 'value2') Scenario 2b - Syntax error in UPDATE statement. This has the same cause as Scenario 2a immediately above. Scenario 3a - Syntax Error (Missing Operator) This is commonly caused when some value that you are trying to SELECT/UPDATE etc contains a single quote mark. The error that you receive looks like: Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040e14) Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Name = 'O'Malleys''. Because of the presence of the ' in the name O'Malleys the database engine thinks that you are constructing a WHERE clause like: WHERE name = 'O' and doesn't know what to do with the rest of the name (Malley
