Question

I cannot save data in access 2007. I tried the following:

• Add a password to my DB; didn’t work
• Saved the db as a 2003 file; didn’t work

Here is my code:

public bool ExecuteUDI(string query) {     Command = new OleDbCommand();     Command.Connection = Connection;     Command.CommandText = query;     Command.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;     try     {         // Open connection         Open();          if (Command.ExecuteNonQuery() != -1)             return true;         else             return false;     }     catch (Exception e)     {         mError = 'ExecuteUDI - ' + e.Message;         return false;     }     finally     {         // Always close connection         Close();     } } 

When I add breakpoints, I see my query looks good:

INSERT INTO DVD (Titel) VALUES ('Elegy') 

I don’t get any errors, but the affected rows is 0. How come? I dont understand..

Answer 1

Where is your mdb file located in relation to your code? I have had issues in the past that having the mdb file in the project folder will in essence create a local copy of the db in memory when the app is running, but nothing is actually written back to the mdb in the folder…

I recommend putting the mdb file outside your project’s folder. That should work.
