Hi, I have a form with 12 Combo Boxes and the last one won't work.
Well it works but won't update the table/list if a new entry is added.
All the others are the same using the same code in the "On Not In List" Event.
All the rest work perfect, just the last box returns an error:

Run-time error '-2147217900 (80040e14)':
Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

When I click Debug it highlights "cmd.Execute" in my code.
Here is the code I am using:

Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim ctrl As Control
Dim strSQL As String, strMessage As String

Set ctrl = Me.ActiveControl
strMessage = "Add " & NewData & " to list of makes?"

strSQL = "INSERT INTO t_position(Position) VALUES(""" & _
NewData & """)"

Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
cmd.CommandType = adCmdText

If MsgBox(strMessage, vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbYes Then
cmd.CommandText = strSQL
cmd.Execute
Response = acDataErrAdded
Else
Response = acDataErrContinue
ctrl.Undo
End If

I have checked the properties and all appears the same as other boxes, have
also check the referring table for errors.
Any idea what would cause this so I can check that?
I see that its telling me its an issue with INSERT INTO, but I have checked
and redone that part of the code many times now.

Thanks for ur thoughts
