I'm newbei in ASP. And i guess i've got similar error.

I use Access 2002 db.

When i connected through DSN everything was okey. But now i decided connect without DSN and got strange error:

Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E14)
Syntax error in FROM clause.

Query was:

mySQL="SELECT UserName, UserId FROM User WHERE UserName='" & userName & "' AND Password='" & password & "'"

Examples with original access 97 dbs work.

Converting from format 2002 to 97 doesn't help.

Thanx for attention.

Password might be a reserved word.

Try enclosing it in [] : "... AND [Password]=..." or better still, rename the field.

Cheers,
