    OleDBCommand

    All,

    I'm creating a small app in C# that needs to insert data into an Access 2003 dB. Here's my code:

    public void dbConnection()
    {
    // Create db connection object
    OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection();
    conn.ConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + @"Data source= C:\NHA.mdb";

    // Make sure the db opens okay.
    try
    {
    conn.Open();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
    MessageBox.Show("Failed to connect to data source");
    }
    // Build a SQL Insert statement string for all the input-form field values.
    string str = "INSERT INTO Customers(firstname,lastname)VALUES(fname,lname)";
    OleDbCommand catCMD = new OleDbCommand(str, conn);
    finally
    {
    conn.Close();
    }
    fname and lname refers to the first and last name of the user, respectively. I have an event handler attached to the 'Submit' button like so:

    private void ncSubmit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e){dbConnection();}

    I run the app enter a first/last name hit the submit button and nothing updates to my database. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    My best guess would be to try catCMD.ExecuteNonQuery after you declare the catcmd
