Answer : MS Access SQL Inserting string value that contain a colon

Because your code is not in Code area, it is difficult to see the use of quotes. Here is a query i would use in such a scenario

1:	_sSql = "Update [DeviceMeters] Set [GearWeelBefore] = '" & Gvalue1 & "', [GearWeelAfter]='" & Gvalue2 & "' Where [DeviceID] = '" & dID & "'"
