Simple Select statement in MS Access

Question

I am not able to get this simple select statement working in MS Access.
"SELECT PhotoLocation from RfidData WHERE TeamID = '"+teamID ;
It is using a variable called teamID which is a string.
The error is java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression
Please Suggest
Thank You...

Let's look at your code, shall we?
public String readPhotoLoc(String teamID)
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL,"","");
    PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("Select PhotoLocation from RfidData ");  // There's no bind parameter here, so setString will do nothing
ps.setString(1,teamID);
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();  // what do you do with the ResultSet?  Nothing.  //You don't return anything,  either.  I doubt that this mess even compiles.
}Here's one suggestion for how to write it properly:
public String readPhotoLoc(Connection connection, String teamID)
    String photoLoc = null;
     PreparedStatement ps = null;
     ResultSet rs = null;
    try
        String query = "SELECT PhotoLocation FROM RfidData WHERE TeamID = ?";
        ps = connection.prepareStatement(query);
        ps.setString(1,teamID);
        rs = ps.executeQuery();
        while (rs.next())
            photoLoc = rs.getString("PhotoLocation");
        return photoLoc;
    catch (SQLException e)
          e.printStackTrace();
           return null;
    finally
          try { if (rs != null) rs.close(); } catch (SQLException ignoreOrLogThis) {}
          try { if (ps != null) ps.close(); } catch (SQLException ignoreOrLogThis) {}
}Make sure that the types of the columns match the Java types.
