Not sure if this applies, but i had trouble doing an SQLvar1 = "INSERT INTO tablename1 (field1) VALUES ("'& aspformvar1 &'""
This shows the syntax i was looking for.
it's the asp var name from a submitted form, inside an & on each side, inside single quotes, inside double quotes.
does this make sense? i'm really glad i got it working!! a friend of mine knew the deal and told me the syntax. thank you jason!
One thing that I noticed is that you are declaring s_id as a varchar2 with a length of only 32. You are then trying to build s_id as something a lot bigger than 32 characters.
