Classic ASP bizarre SQL error - sql

I am connecting to a Access DB, with following Conn String
Conn.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=\\server\share\Data\PFWTRAN.MDB"
The following SQL works fine;
SQLIn = "SELECT Date, Time " & _
"FROM Transactions " & _
"WHERE TokenNumber = " & TokenNo & " " & _
"AND Date >= " & FromDateG & " " & _
"AND Direction = -1 " & _
"ORDER BY Date, TransactionNumber;"
However, I want rows where Transactions.Exception = 0, yet when I add this AND condition, the script fails when the RS is opened;
error '80004005' /path/.../.../...asp, line 97
If I remove the AND condition, it works again.
Even If I try and put 'Exception' in the SELECT section, it won't run and gives me that error.
Why would the inclusion of one field cause such an error? I read the error is due to permissions, but my permissions are fine as the SQL works without this one field in it.
Any clues?
It is a very old Access 95 database (or even earlier), perhaps I need to change connection provided?

"However, I want rows where Transaction.Exception = 0, yet when I add this AND condition, the script fails when the RS is opened"
But Transaction.Exception refers to a different table than the one your query uses.
FROM Transactions
Date, Time, and Exception are Problem names and reserved words in Access. Enclose those names in square brackets, or prefix them with the table name/alias.
Consider switching your approach to use a parameter query ... and feed it TokenNo and FromDateG values as parameters, rather than building their values into the SELECT statement.

How can I alleviate 'Run-Time Error 3078' after renaming queries?

Morning! I recently renamed a ton of queries I had in Access, went through the VBA and renamed every reference to those queries too. Now when I attempt to use a form that pulls & populates from those queries, I get a runtime Error 3078: Microsoft Office Access database engine is unable to find the input table or query ‘old query name’.
When I select debug it takes me to a line that reads:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM qry_'NewQryName'_LineItems_TotalPerYear WHERE (EstimateID = " & EstimateID & " AND YearID >= " & StartYearID & " AND YearID <= " & EndYearID & ")"
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot)
The new name is in the code but the error says it can't find the old name. Very confused, please help.

Excel ODBC SQL Statement Throwing Error '[ODBC EXCEL Driver] Data Type Mismatch in criteria

The SQL statement below inserts values into a new table, in a new sheet (TempPoints). If I remove the last part of the statement (in bold) the query runs OK however when I add it back in to the statement I receive the following error message; '[ODBC EXCEL Driver] Data Type Mismatch in criteria'.
I have replicated the tables and query in SQLServer and it runs OK and as expected which proves the full statement is OK. Is this a limitation of the Excel ODBC driver??
Thank you in advance.
strSQL = "INSERT INTO [TempPoints$] (REFP, PointItemRef, LoadItemRef, PointDES, Iotype, Subtype, Notes) " & _
"SELECT " & tempref & ", [PointsDB$].ItemRef, [LoadstoPointsDB$].LoadRef, [PointsDB$].PointDES, [PointsDB$].Iotype, [PointsDB$].Subtype, [PointsDB$].Notes " & _
"FROM [LoadsToPointsDB$] INNER JOIN [PointsDB$] ON [LoadsToPointsDB$].PointRef = [PointsDB$].ItemRef " & _
"WHERE [LoadsToPointsDB$].LoadRef = " & moditemref & " AND [PointsDB$].SystemComp = 'Y' " & _
**"AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM [TempPoints$] WHERE [TempPoints$].PointItemRef = [PointsDB$].ItemRef)"**
Thank you for those that viewed this, but I seem to have found the answer.
There is a previous insert into statement that loads data in the table, once the data was being loaded into it, the table was storing the numbers as text and not integers. After removing the rows and ensuring the format of the columns was set to integer the SQL query began to function as expected.

parameterized query not working in VB

statement = "SELECT OrderID, (SELECT VendName FROM Vendors WHERE Vendors.VendorID = Orders.VendorID) " &
",OrderDt, RcvdDt, OrderTotal " &
"FROM Orders " &
"WHERE VendName=? " &
"ORDER BY OrderDt DESC"
Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(statement, connection)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("VendName", txtVendorFilter.Text)
Dim reader As OleDbDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.Default)
I was trying to do this before by simply concatenating the textbox value right into the SQL and I was getting a "No values given for required parameters", and read that that I should use parameterized queries instead. So I tried this and it doesn't give me any errors, but the reader never has anything in it. I've never used parameterized queries before, so I'm a bit lost as to why this isn't working.
Edit:
I've changed the above code to account for OLEDB from what I briefly read on how it should work, and it's giving me the "no values given for required parameters" again.
One problem is here:
"WHERE VendName='#x' " &
Drop the ' marks - the parameterization will take care of this for you:
"WHERE VendName= #x " &
Using the ' in the query means that '#x' is treated as a string type, not a parameter name.
Additionally, since you are using OleDb, names parameters are not supported. You need to use ? to signify a parameter in the query:
"WHERE VendName= ? " &

Access 2003 VBA SQL "Too few parameters" error

Dim sort_slots_sql As String
sort_slots_sql = _
"select date, part, service, slot" & _
" from ass_slots, ass_occasions" & _
" where ass_slots.occasion = ass_occasions.occasion" & _
" order by slot, service, date, part"
Set slots_rst = db.OpenRecordset(sort_slots_sql)
This gives a too few parameters error. One is expected. On another place in the code, there is an almost identical situation but there, two parameters are expected!
I can't say conclusively, but I am 99% sure the problem is that you have included a field name in that query that doesn't exist in the table. Check all the fields names and make sure they are spelled exactly like they are in the table.
Also the "Date" field is a likely suspect since it is a reserved word in Access. I'd suggest not naming a field "Date". However, if you are stuck with that name, surround it with square brackets in all your queries like so:
Dim sort_slots_sql As String
sort_slots_sql = _
"select [date], part, service, slot" & _
" from ass_slots, ass_occasions" & _
" where ass_slots.occasion = ass_occasions.occasion" & _
" order by slot, service, [date], part"
Set slots_rst = db.OpenRecordset(sort_slots_sql)

VBScript not executing sql statment properly

I write you this time because a VBScript that one of the application my company uses to retrieve information from an Oracle database does not seem to be working properly. Here are the facts:
There's part of the code that does the following:
sSql = "SELECT REQ_PAYMODE" & _
" FROM SYSADM.GBPRESTATIEGROEP" & _
" WHERE 1=1" & _
" AND SLEUTEL = " & sKeyPrestatiegroep
Set oRSGBPrest = connADO.execute(sSql)
If Not oRSGBPrest.EOF Then
sRequestPaymodeKey = oRSGBPrest("REQ_PAYMODE")
Else
//error handling
End If
Using a Statement Tracer for Oracle (www.aboves.com) I can capture that same statement with its corresponding value:
SELECT REQ_PAYMODE FROM
SYSADM.GBPRESTATIEGROEP WHERE 1=1 AND
SLEUTEL = 1572499
Now, the VBScript is supposed to take that value and execute another query:
sSql = "SELECT PAM_CODE" & _
" FROM SYSADM.PAYMODES" & _
" WHERE 1=1" & _
" AND PAM_KEY = " & sRequestPaymodeKey
Set oRSPaymodes = connADO.execute(sSql)
Right in this last line of code, the script throws an error that says:
ORA-00936: missing expression at line XXX --> Set oRSPaymodes = connADO.execute(sSql) <--
Which basically means that the query in (3) is not correct, which also means that for some reason sRequestPaymodeKey is empty. I cannot tell this for sure because this failing sql statement does not appear in the statement tracer, but that's the only explanation I could find. However, the worst part is that when running the query (2) on SQLDeveloper (that's where value sRequestPaymodeKey comes from) it shows a row with a value other than null or zero.
I can't think of anything else that might be happening here, maybe it's just a server thing... no idea.
Any suggestions from you guys? Any way I can actually debug a VBE file?
Your help is much appreciated!
You need to cast sRequestPaymodeKey as a vbLong which corresponds to sql's INT. I'm assuming PAM_KEY is an INT. A recordset will return a string value. So, your code would look like this:
If IsNumeric(sRequestPaymodeKey) Then
sSql = "SELECT PAM_CODE" & _
" FROM SYSADM.PAYMODES" & _
" WHERE 1=1" & _
" AND PAM_KEY = " & CLng(sRequestPaymodeKey)
Set oRSPaymodes = connADO.execute(sSql)
Else
'do error handling due to bad returned data(empty string?)
End If
Also, consider parameterizing your queries to prevent sql injection.
A few ideas to try:
Before Set oRSPaymodes = connADO.execute(sSql), put in a MsbBox and see what SQL is being executed. Is it valid? Will it run in a Oracle query analyzer(if there is one)?
Hard code a valid value in place of sRequestPaymodeKey. Does it work then?
