I have know solved the syntax error in the FROM clause.
I have been trying to solve No value given for one or more required parameters, but have not been able to solve it.
Could anyone please give me a suggestion. Error happens on da.Fill(ds, "RoyalYachtingAssociation2")
I have tried changing the SQL statement but this does not seem to affect it. I have checked all field names and they are correct.

Dim SQL As String = "SELECT BoatDefectLog.BoatDefectLogID, BoatDefectLog.HullNumber, BoatDefectLog.Defect, BoatDefectLog.DateReported, BoatDefectLog.Repaired, BoatDefectLog.DateRepaired, Owner.FirstName, Owner.Surname, Owner.Address, Owner.PostCode, Owner.RYAMembershipNumber, Owner.PositionInClub, Owner.MemberID " & _
" FROM Owner, BoatDefectLog WHERE Owner.MemberID = BoatDefectLog.MemberID AND Surname = '"

userInput = TextBox1.Text
SQL = String.Concat(SQL, userInput)
SQL = String.Concat(SQL, "'")


da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(SQL, con)
da.Fill(ds, "RoyalYachtingAssociation2")
Dim dataAdapter As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(commandString, con)
dataAdapter.Fill(ds, "RoyalYachtingAssociation2")
FillControls()
End Sub

So what is 'ds' and what value does it have?

ds is the dataset as I have defined it as Dim ds As New DataSet
I think the value is the surname which I type into a textbox.

Apparently not. Post the code where you assign a value to the dataset ds. Use [code=vb] 'your code here [/code] tags when you post code

And DO NOT send me pm's for help. It gets me very irritated ..

Hi, Sorry for sending you a pm.
Below is the code I have showing the declaration of the ds.

[/Public Class SearchInBDAOTRpt
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim userInput As String
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim commandString As String = "SELECT Owner.MemberID, Owner.FirstName, Owner.Surname, Owner.Address, Owner.PostCode, Owner.RYAMembershipNumber, Owner.PositionInClub, BoatDefectLog.BoatDefectLogID, BoatDefectLog.HullNumber, BoatDefectLog.Defect, BoatDefectLog.DateReported, BoatDefectLog.Repaired, BoatDefectLog.DateRepaired FROM Owner, BoatDefectLog " & _
"INNER JOIN ([Owner] INNER JOIN [BoatDefectLog] ON Owner.MemberID=BoatDefectLog.MemberID" & _
"ON MemberID.Owner = MemberID.BoatDefectLog) "

Dim MaxRows As Integer
Dim inc As Integer

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

con.ConnectionString = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = C:\RoyalYachtingAssociation2.mdb"
con.Open()

Dim SQL As String = "SELECT BoatDefectLog.BoatDefectLogID, BoatDefectLog.HullNumber, BoatDefectLog.Defect, BoatDefectLog.DateReported, [/BoatDefectLog.Repaired, BoatDefectLog.DateRepaired, Owner.FirstName, Owner.Surname, Owner.Address, Owner.PostCode, Owner.RYAMembershipNumber, Owner.PositionInClub, Owner.MemberID " & _
" FROM Owner, BoatDefectLog WHERE Owner.MemberID = BoatDefectLog.MemberID AND Surname = '"

userInput = TextBox1.Text
SQL = String.Concat(SQL, userInput)
SQL = String.Concat(SQL, "'")


da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(SQL, con)
da.Fill(ds, "RoyalYachtingAssociation2")
Dim dataAdapter As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(commandString, con)
dataAdapter.Fill(ds, "RoyalYachtingAssociation2")
' FillControls()
End Sub]

Dim ds As New DataSet .... da.Fill(ds, "RoyalYachtingAssociation2")

As I suspected. Between the declaration and using 'ds' it never gets a value.
