strSQL has no space between "receiver_line" in the first line of
code and "where" in the second, so it begins
select * from receiver_linewhere ....

So make the first line say
strSql = "select * from receiver_line " & _

BTW you can debug this sort of problem by stepping through
the code and lookin at the value of strSQL in the Immediate
window.

Hope this helps
