Hello, I'm currently running MySQL and when using an insert statement the following error displays "Unknown column " " in 'Filed List'" I have no idear what it is squeaking about. I have the column in the database and this is the insert statement:

put "INSERT INTO precheckopen (LogInLocation, LogInCounter, DeviceName, DateAndTime) VALUES (" & tEndLocation &","& tRecordsFinal &","& tDeviceName &"," & tDateAndTime &");" into tSQL
revExecuteSQL gDatabaseID, tSQL
answer the result

Please Help, its really quite annoying .

Quote the columns names with the apostrophe character ' .

That only inputs the names tEndLocation, tRecordsFinal, etc.. Doesn't input the data as these are variables.

He meant quote the column names 'LogInLocation' etc.

Where does the "Filed List" come from? Is there a typo somewhere in some other code and it should be "Field List"?

Better in the end to try the " placeholder " syntax and see if that sorts out any escaping glitches or other. The error message doesn't give enough information to tell without seeing more of your code and table structure.

This still isn't working:

put "INSERT INTO precheckopen ('LogInLocation','LogInCounter','DeviceName','DateAndTime') VALUES (:1,:2,:3,:4)" into tSQL
revExecuteSQL gDatabaseID, tSQL, "tEndLocation","tRecordsFinal","tDeviceName","tDateAndTime"

Try this:
It seems that:

• tEndLocation = ""
• tRecordsFinal=""
• tDeviceName=
• tDateAndTime=

Quoting values reduces interpretation errors of MySQL
