Getting an update syntax error from a SqlDataSource in asp.net

Question

I keep getting a syntax error when trying to run an update query in a SqlDataSource in asp.net.

UPDATE User 
SET userName = @userName, 
    password = @password, 
    UserType = @UserType, 
    datejoined = @datejoined, 
    email = @email, 
    loggedIn = @loggedIn, 
    picFilePath = @picFilePath 
WHERE 
    userName = @userName

All the tables are saved in a MS Access 2010 file and all the parameters are saved in session, but I don't think it's relevant since this is just a syntax error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

User and password are MS Access reserved words, I'd suggest using square brackets for the table name and all of the column names:

UPDATE [User]
SET [userName] = @userName, 
    [password] = @password, 
    [UserType] = @UserType, 
    [datejoined] = @datejoined, 
    [email] = @email, 
    [loggedIn] = @loggedIn, 
    [picFilePath] = @picFilePath 
WHERE 
    [userName] = @userName

Answer 2

Is there really a space in here?

loggedIn = @ loggedIn
            ^
            |
            +---> should there be a space here?

I don't think there should be a space between the @ and the loggedIn

In addition: in SQL Server, User is a reserved keyword - so in SQL Server, you need to use [User] for your table name instead. Not sure if that applies to MS Access, too.
