Hey guys , the problem which i am facing is that i would like to use a variable in order to base my SELECT statement upon. I am not sure how to go about getting it to be accepted by the SQL syntax. Hope for some help here. I tried using c_str() , but it does not seem to be working. How can i fix this in order for my SELECT statement to search based on my variable.

Slight change, but you were close:

string sSQL = "SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE Notes = '" + No + "'";
res = stmt->executeQuery(sSQL);

Of course, this assumes that "Notes" in your database is a character column. If it is a numeric column, then leave the single-ticks out of the SQL string.
