Default SQL Update question

No, it can be done in one query. The error message indicates that one of the
field names is incorrectly spelled or that True is being misunderstood for
some reason.

Try
strSQL = "UPDATE tblconfig SET [rotation] = -1, [printtab] = 1, [adn] = -1"

If that still gives you the same error, double check the spelling of the field
names.

Good morning,
I have 3 fields [printtab], [rotation], & [adn]. Rotation and adn are
True/False fields. The printtab is a number field.

In stead of having 3 SQL statements, I'd like to update the fields like this:

strSQL = "UPDATE tblconfig SET [rotation] = True, [printtab] = 1, [adn] =
True"

'************* Updates the Config File *************
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError

When I tried it it kept on giving me errors.
Error:3061. Too few parameters. Expected 1.

Can it be done like above or do I need to use 3 SQL statements?

Thank you for your input.
