>Thanks to everyone that responded to my posting. I finally found the source of my problem: I had a combobox where the RowSource was an SQL statement that I set at design time. I didn't notice that the SQL SELECT statement was being truncated in the combobox properties window. So, I moved the setup of that combobox to the form Init method, and the syntax error has gone away.

Glad you found the problem. Yes, the problems from controlsources usually do not provide any clues with the errors.
