Question

I worked on MYSQL with ASP.NET. Just today started to try SQL commands in MSAccess. I tried the following code for which I am getting an unhandeled exception error. Anybody please check the below and let me know where the error is at.

string ConnStr = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\project\Pages\db.mdb";
        OleDbConnection MyConn = new OleDbConnection(ConnStr);
        OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand();
        cmd = new OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO accounts(email, password)VALUES(?, ?)", MyConn);
        cmd.Parameters.Add("email", OleDbType.VarChar).Value = "val1";
        cmd.Parameters.Add("password", OleDbType.VarChar).Value = "val2";
        MyConn.Open();
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        MyConn.Close();

I created an Access database with a table accounts and field ID, email and password.

The exact error I am getting is (but I believe that my syntax is correct)

Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

“Password” is a reserved word. Put it inside brackets.

cmd = new OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO accounts(email, [password])VALUES(?, ?)", MyConn);
