Hi,

I'm creating a Raffle Program using VB6.
I'm having trouble updating the data in MDB. This is the error when executing the SQL
Data type mismatch in criteria expression.

SQL

UPDATE WINNERS SET PrizeClaimed='1' WHERE RaffleNumber=461 AND [Date]='11/21/2012 11:12:52 PM';

This is the query I use in adding the record. Don't know why the above SQL won't run. I just add record using the same dates '11/21/2012 11:12:52 PM'

SQL

INSERT INTO WINNERS([RaffleNumber], [PrizeClaimed], [Date]) VALUES('461', '0', '11/21/2012 11:12:52 PM');

Can anyone post why this happens...

Thanks

Solution 1

It appears your INSERT statement has the values as strings, and the UPDATE as Raffle Number is a number,

Try

SQL

UPDATE WINNERS SET PrizeClaimed='1' WHERE RaffleNumber='461' AND [Date]='11/21/2012 11:12:52 PM';

See if that helps.

Always use # when using dates.
eg #21/03/2012#
