Hi guys. I have to make a project for my IT Class which includes a login form and other stuff. I used a MS Access database. I almost finished it cuz the deadline is tomorrow but i have a single problem. I dunno how to add items to my DB. I never worked it DB btw . I looked for some tuts over the internet but i can't understand....

On the "new client registration" form i'm using some textboxes and a button that suppoes to add the items insterted in the textboxes to database.

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        ConturiTableAdapter.Insert(TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text, TextBox3.Text, TextBox4.Text, TextBox5.Text, TextBox6.Text, ComboBox1.SelectedItem, TextBox8.Text, TextBox9.Text, "male")

        For Each item In Me.Controls
            If TypeOf item Is TextBox Then
                item.Text = String.Empty
            End If
        Next
    End Sub

This is the code i'm using but noting is stored i the database after i click the button.... any ideas?

        Dim myConnection As OleDbConnection
        Dim myCommand As OleDbCommand
        Dim mySQLString As String

        myConnection = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Users\ZIP\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\VB-Project\VB-Project\conturi.accdb;")
        myConnection.Open()
        mySQLString = "INSERT INTO Conturi VALUES('Textbox1.Text','Textbox2.Text','Textbox3.Text','Textbox4.Text','Textbox5.Text','Textbox6.text','ComboBox1.SelectedItem','Textbox8.text','textbox9.text','male')"
        myCommand = New OleDbCommand(mySQLString, myConnection)
        myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

Ok this is the new code i'm using but i'm having an error at myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(). It says 'Data type mismatch in criteria expression'.

Any tips?

1 more thing: do i have to insert a new 'ID' everytime or it's auto-inserted?

LE: Solve at last!!

You have to specify the fields. Also, if you do it like your example, it will insert the words "textbox1.text" etc into the fields. Remember you are building a string. Many times I will add a messagebox showing the SQL statement I am trying to build right below it so I can see it every time it runs....Once I have the sql statement right, I will delete the messagebox line.

Example:

mySQLString = "INSERT INTO Conturi (FIELD1, FIELD2, FIELD3, FIELD4) VALUES('" & Textbox1.Text & "', '" & Textbox2.Text & "', '" & Textbox3.Text & "','" & Textbox4.Text & "')"
MsgBox ("mySQLString", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "test")
