Question : Error Converting VarChar to Numeric

I am new to SQL with VB6 and I am trying to write a statement that keeps returning "Error converting VarChar to Numeric. My statement is as follows:

        sSql = "SELECT  dbo.ITEM_MASTER.UPC_EAN, dbo.ITEM_MASTER.DESCRIPTIVE_SIZE, " & _
               "dbo.ITEM_MASTER.DESCRIPTION, dbo.ITEM_MASTER.STORE_POS_DEPARTMENT, " & _
               "dbo.ITEM_MASTER.RECORD_STATUS " & _
               "FROM dbo.ITEM_MASTER " & _
               "WHERE dbo.ITEM_MASTER.UPC_EAN = " & txtUPC.Text & ""

 dbo.ITEM_MASTER.UPC_EAN is VarChar type and txtUPC.text is a textbox filled in by the user. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer : Error Converting VarChar to Numeric

u have to use ' before and after txtUPC.Text. use the below code

sSql = "SELECT  dbo.ITEM_MASTER.UPC_EAN, dbo.ITEM_MASTER.DESCRIPTIVE_SIZE, " & _
               "dbo.ITEM_MASTER.DESCRIPTION, dbo.ITEM_MASTER.STORE_POS_DEPARTMENT, " & _
               "dbo.ITEM_MASTER.RECORD_STATUS " & _
               "FROM dbo.ITEM_MASTER " & _
               "WHERE dbo.ITEM_MASTER.UPC_EAN = '" & txtUPC.Text & "'"
