I have used neither the W3 stuff or mSQL 2. However, I've seen the
1.x msql monitor on FreeBSD issue a similiar error (parse error near
"") on what looked like a good SQL statement when there was a DOS
newline hidden at the end of the line. This was caused by my Windows
CodeRight editor running over the network and writing to a Unix file
system. I had to do a hex dump of the SQL statement before I found
the problem. Once I changed each \r\n (Od Oa) to \n (0a), the errors
went away.

Good luck,

Paul
