Hi guys, I am using Visual Studio 2008 and have connected a database correctly as I have done a login that works fine, although when I try to insert information submitted in the text boxes a different table, it doesn't enter after I end program to check it still has no data in. Any ideas? Also I have no idea what is the difference or whether im writing in VB .NET or Visual basic 5...6? lol

Hi,

Does it throw an exception at all?

I'm looking at your SQL query and it looks like your missing a space before the VALUES (maybe I'm reading it wrong - I've just woke up! :) ).

As a simple test, try assigning your SQL query to a string variable and print it to screen and read it back to ensure it looks right.
