Per the code below, I am getting the following message. I am fairly certain “why” I am getting it, I just don’t know how to rearrange the code to move/remove/replace one of the error causing statements.
“Compile with /main to specify the type that contains the entry point.”
There is a bunch of code in there under “static void Main(string[] args)”, that I got from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816112
forthe purpose of getting the ID from auto-increment, so i can have it auto increment, when the rest of the code populates the Access database. Any help is appreciated. And suggestions to get the results with easier code are welcome, as well!

If you are using Visual Studio to compile/debug your application you should set the entry point of your program in the properties of your project.
First Page -> Application
Startup object -> YourNameSpace.WindowsApplication1.Form1
There is no need to rearrange the code for this.
However, looking at the code provided, I can’t see any point in which you start the Form1.
Inside the Main method is missing the code that starts Form1.
Something like
