Scenario: I am using the following code to update an Access database. The fields case_notes1...case_notes4 are MEMO fields. Sometimes, I have no problem whatsoever. Other times, I get the following error:

So far, I have tried enclosing the wildcard variables in the execute() statement in quotes, but that hasn't seemed to work as well as I expected. Thanks in advance Brad Smith
