Okay, So I'm currently working on my A2 computing project, and I am having slight difficulties updating and saving the data in my database when it is entered on a form in VB. I cannot find any reason why it wouldn't work, but if someone could suggest a better way to do it, it would be great as everything else works. It's in the btnsave at the bottom, and when you click the button on the form it come up with a very unuseful error, which is no help to anyone. Any help would be SO greatly appreciated!

This is the code for the edit details form, where on loading, the customers details which are currently in the database are already there, and they can change things on it and save it to update their details if anything changes.

Public Class EditMyDetails
    Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
    Dim dbProvider As String
    Dim dbSource As String
    Dim ds As New DataSet
    Dim da As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
    Dim sql As String

    Dim customerdetails As Integer
    Dim user As Boolean
    Dim rownumber As Integer
    Dim failed As Boolean
    Private Sub btnhome_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnhome.Click

        Me.Visible = False
        Homepage.Visible = True

    End Sub

    Private Sub btneditdetails_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btneditdetails.Click

        Me.Visible = True

    End Sub

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

        Me.Visible = False
        EditPassword.Visible = True

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnbook.Click

        Me.Visible = False
        Book.Visible = True

    End Sub

    Private Sub btncancel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btncancel.Click

        Me.Visible = False
        Homepage.Visible = True

    End Sub

        dbSource = "Data Source = C:\Users\Nat\Documents\Project.mdb"
        con.ConnectionString = dbProvider & dbSource
        con.Open()
        sql = "SELECT * FROM tbl_CustomerDetails"
        da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, con)
        da.Fill(ds, "Edit")
        con.Close()

        Do Until user = True Or failed = True
            If rownumber = customerdetails Then
                failed = True

            Else
                If ds.Tables("Edit").Rows(rownumber).Item(1) = txtfirstname.Text Then
                    user = True
                Else
                    rownumber = rownumber + 1
                End If
            End If
        Loop

            txtemailaddress.Text = ds.Tables("Edit").Rows(rownumber).Item(10)

        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub btnsave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnsave.Click

        'saves the newly entered data and updates it
        Dim cb As New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(da)

        'Should update database
        da.Update(ds, "Edit")

    End Sub
End Class

What exactly is the error message ?
