SQL syntax error?

[Steve]

It looks like its the In statement in your SQL.

Change it to; & " IN ('" & strPath & "') " _

Hope this helps.

Sorry, I misunderstood :}

Try putting the IN statement after the from statement.

Hope this helps now

Hi
I'm trying to write some code that will manipulate

tables
(copy, delete etc)

in my backend from any computer that the frontend is installed on. To do
this the code has to know where the backend is located. I've solved that
one, but I have a problem when I try to use the variable strPath (which
contains the path to the backend) in the SQL string

which
copies a table.

Error message is 'Query input must contain at least one table or query' Is
this caused by a syntax error?

Code is as follows:

'code to get path

Dim db As Database
Dim tdf As TableDef
Dim strCon As String
Dim strPath As String

Set db = CurrentDb()
Set tdf = db.TableDefs("Pupil details")
strCon = tdf.Connect
strPath = Mid(strCon, 11)

Set tdf = Nothing

'create an empty table (named 'Pupil details (new)' in BackEnd database
'by copying the (structure) table

DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT * " _
& " INTO [Pupil details (new)]" _
& " IN " & strPath _
& " FROM [Pupil details (structure)];"

Thanks
