Question : VBS, SQL, Access, ODBC - Problems with an Insert Statement

I am getting this error: '[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO Statement.' At Line 18 Position 4.

Statement is :
Dim strSQL
Dim strConn, cnx
Dim prompt, title
Dim objNet
Dim Network_User

Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork")
Network_User = objNet.UserName

'open connection to database
    strConn = "DSN=VMFG_LOGS;UID=****;PWD=****"
    Set cnx = CreateObject("ADODB.CONNECTION")
    cnx.Open strConn
'Create  query statement
    strSQL = "INSERT INTO ORDER (ORDER_ID, NET_ID,DATE) VALUES ($ID, $NETWORK_USER, $ORDER_DATE);"

'execute Update query
    cnx.Execute strSQL
    cnx.Close
    Set cnx = Nothing
   
'wrap up macro
    prompt = "Macro just recorded your order information."
    title = "Macro - Master Recording"
    MsgBox prompt, vbInformation + vbOKOnly, title


I have a an ODBC connection to an access database.
Database is VMFG_LOGS
table is ORDER
field names are ORDER_ID, NET_ID, DATE

Why won't this work?

Answer : VBS, SQL, Access, ODBC - Problems with an Insert Statement

regarding

strSQL = "INSERT INTO ORDER (ORDER_ID, NET_ID,DATE) VALUES ($ID, $NETWORK_USER, $ORDER_DATE);"

is $ID, $NETWORK etc some variables (beit userdefined or standard)

If so, then try putting it outside

e.g.

strSQL = "INSERT INTO ORDER (ORDER_ID, NET_ID,[DATE]) VALUES (" & $ID & ",'" & $NETWORK_USER & "',#" &  $ORDER_DATE & "#)"

Here I assume $ID is numeric, $NETWORK_USER is a string and Date, well a date:)

If $ID is a string then wrap in single quotes
