PRB: "Expected: )" Error Message with Execute Method
'Article ID: Q132141

Creation Date: 29-JUN-1995

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

The "Execute Method" topic in the Microsoft Access Help system includes parentheses in the sample syntax. When you enclose the Execute method's source and options arguments in one set of parentheses, you receive the following error message at run time:

Expected : ) CAUSE

The sample syntax reads as follows:

database.Execute(source [,options]) It incorrectly includes parentheses around the arguments for the Execute method. RESOLUTION

Remove the parentheses from the syntax of the Execute method so that it reads as follows:

database.Execute source [,options] The following sample syntax would be correct: MyDB.Execute "Update Orders Set Freight=0", DB_SQLPASSTHROUGH REFERENCES

For more information about the Execute method, search for "Execute," and then "Execute Method (Data Access)" using the Microsoft Access Help menu.
