Can't offer much help unless we can see what you have done so far. Post your code.

Typically, when you do an INSERT you include some values to go with the field names. For example

INSERT INTO mytable (LastName,FirstName,Age) VALUES('Smith','George',27)

Your query didn't do this.

I'll also add that you should be using Parameterized Queries.
