Thanks for this harshadilup, :)

I'm testing it right now. But I have questions,

New OleDbDataAdapter("select * from emp1 where Employee = @1st", con1)

in where Employee = @1st
Is Employee also the name of the field in my database base?
and how about @1st?What is the use of it?

thanks for this one dude..it's working.,
