CFUPDATE error

Question

I have a pretty straigtforward form being used both for
Insert *and* for Update, using variables for the formfield data.
The table is 'tblPeople' and it has typical Lastname, Firstname,
email, password, LevelID (a number), comments, ExpiryDate, Created,
LastUpdated. They are all text fields except the one noted number
and the last 3 which are dates.
The CFInsert works fine.
The CFUpdate throws the following error:
Error Executing Database Query.
Syntax error in UPDATE statement.
The error occurred in
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\geeks\admin\tblpeople\actions.cfm: line 4
2 : <cfset EditMode=IsDefined("FORM.PersonID")>
3 : <cfif EditMode>
4 : <cfupdate datasource="#REQUEST.DSN#"
tablename="tblPeople">
5 : <cflocation url="index.cfm">
6 : <cfelse>
SQL update tblPeople set LASTNAME= (param 1) ,FIRSTNAME=
(param 2) ,COMMENTS= (param 3) ,PASSWORD= (param 4) ,EMAIL= (param
5) ,CREATED= (param 6) ,LEVELID= (param 7) ,TOPICS= (param 8)
,LASTUPDATED= (param 9) ,EXPIRYDATE= (param 10) where PersonID=
(param 11)
When I do a cfdump on the form that is passed, here's what I
get:
struct
COMMENTS comments here
CREATED 06/06/2006
EMAIL [email protected]
EXPIRYDATE 05/05/2005
FIELDNAMES
LASTNAME,FIRSTNAME,EMAIL,TOPICS,PASSWORD,LEVELID,COMMENTS,EXPIRYDATE,CREATED,LASTUPDATED, PERSONID
FIRSTNAME Suzy
LASTNAME Jones
LASTUPDATED 07/07/2007
LEVELID 5
PASSWORD [empty string]
PERSONID 222
TOPICS [empty string]
Everything looks right to me, I just don't know what else to
check.
any ideas?

If you are using an Access db, your problem might be that
password is a reserved word. Also your date is not in an odbc style
format.
