I am very new to VB and currently using VB Express 2008 to create a simple program. However, I am running into a syntax error on my update code. I have done some research on the web but cannot find a common thread. I am hoping some of the experts could take a look and help me understand where I am going wrong with the syntax.
Public Shared Function UpdateAcctUsers(ByVal oldusermaint As UserMaint, ByVal newusermaint As UserMaint) As Boolean
Dim connection As OleDbConnection = FINDB.GetConnection()
Dim updateStatement As String _
= "UPDATE tblValidUsers SET " _
& "IST = @NewIST, " _
& "BS = @NewBS, " _
& "CIS = @NewCIS, " _
& "CBS = @NewCBS, " _
& "LCIS = @NewLCIS, " _
& "LCBS = @NewLCBS, " _
& "RF = @NewRF, " _
& "CF = @NewCF, " _
& "FEAM = @NewFEAM, " _
& "IC = @NewIC, " _
& "STD = @NewSTD, " _
& "PF = @NewPF, " _
& "CS = @NewCS, " _
& "WHERE fldUser = @OldfldUser " _
& "AND IST = @OldIST " _
& "AND BS = @OldBS " _
& "AND CIS = @OldCIS " _
& "AND CBS = @OldCBS " _
& "AND LCIS = @OldLCIS " _
& "AND LCBS = @OldLCBS " _
& "AND RF = @OldRF " _
& "AND CF = @OldCF " _
& "AND FEAM = @OldFEAM " _
& "AND IC = @OldIC " _
& "AND STD = @OldSTD " _
& "AND PF = @OldPF " _
& "AND CS = @OldCS "
