Syntax error on update database code

[witternb]

Hello Everyone,

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.

Code:

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 "
        Dim updateCommand As New OleDbCommand(updateStatement, connection)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewIST", newusermaint.IST)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewBS", newusermaint.BS)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewCIS", newusermaint.CIS)

        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewRF", newusermaint.RF)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewCF", newusermaint.CF)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewFEAM", newusermaint.FEAM)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewIC", newusermaint.IC)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewSTD", newusermaint.STD)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewPF", newusermaint.PF)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewCS", newusermaint.CS)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldfldUser", oldusermaint.fldUser)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldIST", oldusermaint.IST)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldBS", oldusermaint.BS)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldCIS", oldusermaint.CIS)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldCBS", oldusermaint.CBS)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldLCIS", oldusermaint.LCIS)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldLCBS", oldusermaint.LCBS)

        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldCF", oldusermaint.CF)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldFEAM", oldusermaint.FEAM)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldIC", oldusermaint.IC)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldSTD", oldusermaint.STD)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldPF", oldusermaint.PF)
        updateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OldCS", oldusermaint.CS)
        Try
            connection.Open()
            Dim count As Integer = updateCommand.ExecuteNonQuery
            If count > 0 Then
                Return True
            Else
                Return False
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            Throw ex
        Finally
            connection.Close()
        End Try
    End Function

Thanks in advance for your help!

one problem is the comma before the WHERE.

Replace

& "CS = @NewCS, " _
            & "WHERE fldUser = @OldfldUser " _

by

& "CS = @NewCS  " _
            & "WHERE fldUser = @OldfldUser " _

If more syntax errors please post back
