Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement for Access 2010
My INSERT statement apparently has a syntax error. Could someone please explain why that might be?
Private Sub Register_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Register.Click
Dim StudentNum As String
Dim Password As String
Dim FirstName As String
Dim LastName As String
Dim YrandSec As String
StudentNum = Number.Text()
Password = Pass.Text
FirstName = First.Text
LastName = Last.Text
YrandSec = YrSec.Text()
SQL = "INSERT INTO Accounts(StudNo,Password,FirstName,LastName,YrandSec) VALUES ('" & StudentNum & "', '" & Password & "', '" & FirstName & "', '" & LastName & "', '" & YrandSec & "')" - ERROR HERE
Cmd = New OleDbCommand(SQL, Con)
Con.Open()
objCmd = New OleDbCommand(SQL, Con)
If Repass.Text = Pass.Text = False Then
Re.Text = "*Password didn't match!"
Number.Text = ""
Pass.Text = ""
Repass.Text = ""
Con.Close()
Else
If Number.Text = "" Or Pass.Text = "" Or Repass.Text = "" Or First.Text = "" Or Last.Text = "" Or YrSec.Text = "" Then
MsgBox("Please complete the field", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Failed to create")
Else
objCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Re.Text = ""
MsgBox("Account has been created", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Congrats!")
For fade = 0.0 To 1.1 Step 0.2
Login.Opacity = fade
Login.Show()
Me.Hide()
Threading.Thread.Sleep(30)
Number.Text = ""
Pass.Text = ""
Repass.Text = ""
First.Text = ""
Last.Text = ""
YrSec.Text = ""
Next
End If
End If
End Sub
PASSWORD
is a reserved word in Access SQL, so you need to wrap that column name in square brackets.You really should use a parameterized query to protect against SQL Injection and generally make your life easier.
Try something like this
SQL = "INSERT INTO [Accounts] ([StudNo],[Password],[FirstName],[LastName],[YrandSec]) " & _
"VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)"
Con.Open()
objCmd = New OleDbCommand(SQL, Con)
objCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("?", StudentNum)
objCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("?", Password)
objCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("?", FirstName)
objCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("?", LastName)
objCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("?", YrandSec)
