Question

I have a database (i use MS ACCESS) I have this insert code, I can read data but got error when writing, I follow instruction but it didn’t work
here is my code

OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(@" provider=Microsoft.ace.Oledb.12.0; data source=\\sisc-erelim\4_Printing\VTDB\DB\VirginiTEADB2.accdb; Persist Security Info=False");

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand();
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
                cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Accountstbl (Username, Password)" + "VALUES ('" + textBox1.Text + "','" + textBox2.Text + "')";
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Username", textBox1.Text);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Password", textBox2.Text);
                cmd.Connection = con;
                con.Open();
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                textBox1.Text = ex.ToString();
            }

And I always got this error,

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

   at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand.ExecuteCommandTextForSingleResult(tagDBPARAMS dbParams, Object& executeResult)

Answer 1

You defined @Username and @Password parameters but you never used in your sql command.

How about?

cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Accountstbl (Username, [Password]) VALUES (@Username, @Password)";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Username", textBox1.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Password", textBox2.Text);
cmd.Connection = con;
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

Also you should use Password in square brackets on your sql command like [Password] because it is a reserved keyword in MS Access.

If you don’t this can cause an error like;

Incorrect syntax near the keyword “Password”
