I've researched and researched... yet to find a solution. I've read people having similar trouble because of the encoding, but I've tried retyping the query and even used convert to UTF-8 inside Notepad++. Any ideas?

Error:

> 
> Incorrect syntax near 'NEW'.
>

Query:

```
delete from [orgDefaults] 
where ([orgcode] = N'NEW') 
  and ([ctlName] = N'AllowReportables')

```

This is being executed inside a VB.NET program I've created using this OLEDB driver:

```vb
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & updates_mdb & ";Jet OLEDB:Database Password=" & Settings.Password & ";")

```
