SQL syntax error on vba - sql

Question

I made a SQL statement in the add/update button in the query wizard I changed it back to SQL view to see how the program made me the code and when I copy and paste the same error on the If statement of the btnAdd it throws me a syntax error, but how?
here is the entire code:
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
'In the button add we have two options
'1. Insert
'2. Update
If Me.txtID.Tag & "" = "" Then
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO tblClients ( ClientID, ClientName, Gender, " & _
"City, [Address (Fisical)], [Cellphone/Telephone] ) " & _
"SELECT " & Me.txtID & ",'" & Me.txtName & "','" & Me.cboGender & "', '" & Me.cboCity & "','" & Me.txtAddress & "','" & Me.txtCellphone & "'"
Else
'Otherwise the data will be updated
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblClients SET tblClients.ClientName = [me]. [txtName], tblClients.Gender = [me].[cboGender], tblClients.City = [me].[cboCity], tblClients.[Address (Fisical)] = [me].[txtAddress], tblClients.[Cellphone/Telephone] = [me].[txtCellphone] "
WHERE (([ClientID]=[Me].[txtID].[Tag]));
End If
cmdClear_Click
tblClients_subform.Form.Requery
End Sub
it highlights me this row in red:
WHERE (([ClientID]=[Me].[txtID].[Tag]));

Answer 1

It appears that the following code is not on the same line
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblClients SET tblClients.ClientName = [me]. [txtName], tblClients.Gender = [me].[cboGender], tblClients.City = [me].[cboCity], tblClients.[Address (Fisical)] = [me].[txtAddress], tblClients.[Cellphone/Telephone] = [me].[txtCellphone] "
WHERE (([ClientID]=[Me].[txtID].[Tag]))
So you may want to change it to
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblClients SET tblClients.ClientName = [me]. [txtName], tblClients.Gender = [me].[cboGender], tblClients.City = [me].[cboCity], tblClients.[Address (Fisical)] = [me].[txtAddress], tblClients.[Cellphone/Telephone] = [me].[txtCellphone] " & _
"WHERE (([ClientID]=[Me].[txtID].[Tag]))"

In addition to Cableload's correct answer where the WHERE statement that was on a new code line was not connected to the previous line by the use of an underscore at the end of the first one, there is still a referncing issue.
You are referencing values in a UserForm like that were columns in a table so it is not finding the value you are looking for. To get the value into the SQL statement you need to come out of the literal string, reference the value, and then continue writing the string (not forgetting to enclose the value with '): -
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblClients SET " & _
"[ClientName] = '" & Me.txtName & "', " & _
"[Gender] = '" & Me.cboGender & "', " & _
"[City] = '" & Me.cboCity & "', " & _
"[Address (Fisical)] = '" & Me.txtAddress & "', " & _
"[Cellphone/Telephone] = '" & Me.txtCellphone & "' " & _
"WHERE [ClientID]=" & Me.txtID.Tag
I have spread it across multiple lines for ease of reading but obviously you can adjust your actual code however needed.
I would also question [ClientID]=" & Me.txtID.Tag, is the ClientID in the in the txtID.value or the txtID.Tag, they are different places. The value property is the value in the text box, the Tag property is more like a area for metadata that you can populate if needed but is not automatically populated by default.
Finally I'd like to refer you back to an answer to a previous question you had, at the bottom of the answer there was a tip about placing the resultant query into a Access Query in SQL view to get better information on the error, that would have helped you here too. To give further assistance on the 'resultant query'.
In debug mode before the while the CurrentDb.Execute is highlighted but before it is run (using F8 to step through each line until you get there, or placing a breakpoint on that line
Open the the Immediate Window if it is not already open (either Ctrl+G to from the menu bar 'View' > 'Immediate Window')
Copy all related code from the line after the CurrentDb.Execute statement, in this case it would be UPDATE ... .Tag
In the immediate window type a question mark and then paste in the rleated code and press enter
The immediate window will return the resultant string for you to try in a Query in SQL view.

Change the SELECT keyword to VALUES in your INSERT statement.
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO tblClients ( ClientID, ClientName, Gender, " & _
"City, [Address (Fisical)], [Cellphone/Telephone] ) " & _
"VALUES (" & Me.txtID & ",'" & Me.txtName & "','" & Me.cboGender & "', '" & Me.cboCity & "','" & Me.txtAddress & "','" & Me.txtCellphone & "')"
And the UPDATE should be this. The issue here was that you were trying to use Form controls in the SQL, but you needed to evaluate the controls first then concatenate their values to your literal string.
I'm wondering if you really need Me.txtID instead of Me.txtID.Tag
So sway that out if it doesn't work.
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblClients SET tblClients.ClientName = '" & me.txtName & "', tblClients.Gender = '" & me.cboGender & "', tblClients.City = '" & me.cboCity & "', tblClients.[Address (Fisical)] = '" & me.txtAddress & "', tblClients.[Cellphone/Telephone] = '" & me.txtCellphone & "' WHERE (([ClientID]=" & Me.txtID.Tag & "));"
