Steven,
2 things :
-Use ? instead of &
-Divide the SQL string into multiple quoted strings. ie :

Instead of :
"INSERT INTO drawmstrp (dm_drawing_number,dm_drawing_title,dm_pending_change,dm_date_issued,dm_requester_name1,dm_requester_name2, ;
dm_job_order,dm_project,dm_customer) Values(&nfn,&nf2,&nf3,&nf4,&nf5,&nf6,&nf7,&nf8,&nf9)"


"INSERT INTO drawmstrp "+;
" (dm_drawing_number,dm_drawing_title,dm_pending_change,"+;
" dm_date_issued,dm_requester_name1,dm_requester_name2,"+;
" dm_job_order,dm_project,dm_customer)"+;
" Values "+;
" (?nfn,?nf2,?nf3,?nf4,?nf5,?nf6,?nf7,?nf8,?nf9)"
