I've created a text formula field, but I've been hitting a wall with the CASE portion of the formula: I keep getting the "Error: Syntax error. Missing ')'" message. Here's what I created:



Account.Name & 

CASE(RecordType.Id, 01260000000UHnk, ' - Customer Support SLA - ',
01260000000Q5Ok, ' - Renewal SLA - ',
' - Non-Standard SLA - '
) &

TEXT(MONTH(Contract.StartDate))+"/" +TEXT(DAY(Contract.StartDate))+"/" +TEXT(YEAR(Contract.StartDate))


Everything seems to be in order, but I cannot figure out what's missing. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

The ID values also need to be in quotes. The error is a bit of a red herring; it's just how the parser reports errors.
