1) You might want to check your query again.
Dim sqlquery As String = "INSERT INTO firstfloor_house_rent (datee,amt) VALUES ('" & DateTimePicker8.Text & "', " & TextBox24.Text & ")"

here you forgot to use '' for textbox24.text (String data should be used with single quotes in SQL query)

2) Your data might be mismatching here.
ans = sqlcommand.ExecuteNonQuery() If (ans = True) Then

As type returned by ExecuteNonQuery is bool i.e 1 or 0 so you might want to compare it with 1 or 0 in If Condition.

3) Free Advice: Better to use parametrized query.

textbox24 hold integer data n data type is also same in access.
thanx rahul for reply.. plz can u modify this code using parametrized query because i dont have much knowledge of parametrized query...
