    ASP connecting to Access - Please Help

    Afternoon!

    I've got the following:

    1. A access database.
    2. A .htm file that accepts input.
    3. A asp (action) page that sql_insert the data into the database.
    4. A page showing all entries in the database.

    When you enter data on the .htm page and hit "submit" you get the
    following...


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    --
    Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0409'

    Unterminated string constant

    /form_action.asp, line 35

    sql_insert = "insert into appl (name, surname, age, sex, email, currentjob,
    livingarea, areacode, telephone, comments) values
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ----------------------

    dunno if this is enough information...
    Please Help

    You've missed the terminating quotation mark...

    sql_insert = "insert into appl (name, surname, age, sex, email, currentjob,
    livingarea, areacode, telephone, comments) values"

    Also missing all the values to insert

    Values ("John", "Doe", etc )

    or if getting the values from the form

    VALUES('" & Request("name") & "', '" & Request("surname") & "', etc)
