sql - VBScript - Syntax Error in FROM Clause -

so i'd preface saying have little experience vbs. anyway, i'm trying write script want calculate year number of project (but leave blank under circumstances) database storing several projects.

there error i'm receiving is: error 800a0c3b – syntax error in clause. line 26 char 1 source: dao.database , can't quite figure out how fix it.

option explicit 'line 1 'declare variables dim rs1 dim rs2 dim year '5 dim yearno dim oaccess dim oshell dim dblocation dim currentdb '10 dim sql dim program_year dim construction_year dim ofso set ofso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject") '15 set oshell = wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")  dblocation = "[drive]\folder\folder\file.accdb"  set oaccess = createobject("access.application") '20  oaccess.opencurrentdatabase(dblocation)  'sql = "select * [expenditures] in '" & dblocation & "' " '25 oaccess.currentdb.execute("select * [expenditures] in '" & dblocation & "'""") '26  set rs1 = currentdb.openrecordset(oaccess)  'move first record '30 rs1.movefirst 'copy recordset set rs2 = rs1.clone rs2.bookmark = rs1.bookmark rs2.movenext '35  while not rs2.eof              rs2.edit  '1. check if construction year before program year '40 if me.construction_year < me.program_year  'a) if year comes before program year, leave yearno blank  if me.year < me.program_year      me.yearno = "" '45  'b) if year program year or greater program year, fill in yearno  elseif me.year > me.program_year or me.year = me.program_year      if rs1.year < rs2.year , trim(rs1.gwp) = trim(rs2.gwp)          rs2.yearno = rs2.year - rs1.year + rs1.yearno      end if '50  end if  '2. check if program year before construction year elseif me.program_year < me.construction_year '55  'a) if year comes before construction year, leave yearno blank  if me.year < me.construction_year      me.yearno =""  'b) if year construction year or greater construction year, fill in yearno  elseif me.year > me.construction_year or me.year = me.construction_year '60      if rs1.year < rs2.year , trim(rs1.gwp) = trim(rs2.gwp)          rs2.yearno = rs2.year - rs1.year + rs1.yearno      end if  end if '3. check if program year , construction year same '65 elseif me.programyear = me.construction_year  'a) if year comes before program year, leave yearno blank  if me.year < me.program_year      me.yearno = ""  'b) otherwise fill in yearno '70  elseif rs1.year < rs2.year , trim(rs1.gwp) = trim(rs2.gwp)          rs2.yearno = rs2.year - rs1.year + rs1.yearno      end if  end if '80 'end if  'update , move next              rs2.update  rs1.movenext '85              rs2.movenext          loop           'close recordsets , set nothing  rs2.close '90          rs1.close          set rs1 = nothing          set rs2 = nothing  '95 oshell.popup "update complete!",2, "",0  oaccess.quit set oaccess = nothing  wscript.quit 

any assistance - , obvious problems in code - gratefully appreciated.

edit: forgot add database based in access.

sql? looks access. code old vbscript. may help:

' cursortypeenum values const adopenforwardonly = 0 const adopenkeyset = 1 const adopendynamic = 2 const adopenstatic = 3  ' locktypeenum values const adlockreadonly = 1 const adlockpessimistic = 2 const adlockoptimistic = 3 const adlockbatchoptimistic = 4  ' commandtypeenum values const adcmdunknown = &h0008 const adcmdtext = &h0001 const adcmdtable = &h0002 const adcmdstoredproc = &h0004  dim connection, rs, item, svcopsra(1), datafile, n, fs set fs = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")  dim currentpath, currentfolder set currentpath = fs.getfolder(".") currentfolder = currentpath.path set currentpath = nothing  set connection = createobject("adodb.connection") connection.connectiontimeout = 30 connection.commandtimeout = 80 datafile = currentfolder & "\deploy.mdb" connection.open "driver={microsoft access driver (*.mdb)};dbq=" & datafile & ";defaultdir=;uid=;pwd=;" set rs = createobject("adodb.recordset")  rs.open "select service, state svcops status", connection, adopenforwardonly, adlockoptimistic while not rs.eof     n = 0     each item in rs.fields         svcopsra(n) = item.value ' ... populating array values         n = n + 1     next     svcops svcopsra(0), svcopsra(1) ' ... call sub/function , pass 2 fields parameters     rs.movenext wend rs.close  connection.close set rs = nothing set connection = nothing set fs = nothing 

the svcops sub looks like:

sub svcops(service,state) ' ... takes 2 parameters     ' ... end sub 

also, if plan update recordset, use adopendynamic instead of adopenforwardonly ;)
