[AccessD] A2K:Data Type Mismatch in expression

This time, I'd guess that StudentID in NOT a text field, so you don't 
want the two single quotes at all.

You seem to be missing the first field name in the select statement

You are missing a closing double quote  after  & "FROM tblStudents 
(note you also need a space after the tblStudents and before the 
double quote)

So try:
selSQL = "SELECT tblStudents, tblStudents.StudentID " _
             & "FROM tblStudents " _
            & "WHERE (((tblStudents.StudentID)=" _
            & [Forms]![frmStudents]![txtStudentID] & "));"
