Can anyone spot what is where I am going wrong with this code. It is coming up with 'run time error 3061 - too few parameters. expected 3' error.

It is just supposed to create a table (which it appears to be working fine) and then insert some simple data into it.

Code:
Sub Temp()    Dim MyDB As DAO.Database
    Set MyDB = CurrentDb()
    
    MyDB.Execute "CREATE TABLE tempTable (F1 STRING, F2 INTEGER, F3 STRING, F4 STRING);"
    MyDB.Execute "INSERT INTO tempTable (F1, F2, F3, F4) Values (a, 0, b, c)"
End Sub

Greatly appreciate all your help in advance

Which line throws back the error?

I see one thing I think may be wrong. If a,o,b,c are literal text values, they need text qualifiers, i.e. maybe something like:
Code:
MyDB.Execute "INSERT INTO tempTable (F1, F2, F3, F4) Values ('a', '0', 'b', 'c')"
Note. You may have other errors too. I have not used this method to create DAO temp tables. I am just pointing out something that sticks out to me.

Thanks for the reply Joe.

It was just as simple as text qualifiers as you pointed out. Sometimes it's those simple things that trip me up because I was looking for a more complex solution.:rolleyes:

Thanks again
