SYMPTOMS
If you create a Microsoft Excel worksheet form by using the Web Form Wizard, and then submit data with the form, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

Error Performing Query

[State=37000][Error=-3502][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 7.0 Driver] Syntax error in INSERT statement

NOTE: The error message you receive may vary depending on the database to which you submit data.

The data is not added to the database.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you use a field name with the label "date" (without the quotation marks).



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, rerun the Web Form Wizard and do not specify "date" as a field label. Instead, use a more descriptive label, for example, "submit_date."



STATUS
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Excel.



MORE INFORMATION
Some words are reserved and shouldn't be used when you submit data by using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). "Date" is one of these reserved words. Because you may need to set up a system data source on the Web server and use an ODBC driver to submit data with the Web Form Wizard, you may receive error messages when you use some reserved words.

For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

NOTE: You must establish a system data source on the Web server only if you click "Microsoft Internet Information Server with the Internet Database Connector" in step 3 of the Web Form Wizard.
