Error on writing to Recordset

[Don Barton]

I am trying to write a record to a table via VBA. I am doing this to
document user access. When a user logs in correctly, global variables
are assigned with different demographic data. These are then made
into global variables and are defined in my General/Declarations
section of a module.

Below is a function I am trying to use to write the user infomation to
a table.

-------------------------------------------------
Public Function WriteAuditTrail()
On Error GoTo Err_WATError

Dim strSQL As String
Dim TableName As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset

Set db = CurrentDb()

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblUserActivity WHERE [PWUserName] = " &
[gActiveUser] & ";"

Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset)

rst.AddNew
rst!PWNames = gActiveUser
rst!PWDateTime = Now
rst!pwActivity = gUserActivity
rst!pwSecStatus = gSecStatus
rst.Update
rst.Close
etc......
-----------------------------------
My error routine is invoked when it hits "Set
rst=db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset)" line. I either have a
syntax error for my gActiveUser variable, or I am missing some
properties of the rst object?

I've also noticed when I put the mouse over a rst!fieldname I see
"object variable or with block variable not set", but the global
variables have data.

Thanks,

Don

That's because you're doing a:
....where PWUserName = Tom;
while you should be doing:
....where PWUserName = 'Tom';
