Hi, I'm working on making a database that holds basic information on dvds. I've got a strange problem, though it doesn't happen all the time. When I run my code I'm getting the following message in the error list:

A first chance exception of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException' occurred in System.Data.dll

Sometimes this still lets me search successfully and sometimes it comes up saying no records were found. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

            // TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'dvdDataSet.movies' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.

    }

Why are you replacing the Query string over and over? each time you assign the command text it replaces the previous query, so i would imagine (based on the code you posted) the search will work when you have typed in a genre, but will fail if you are trying to search by Title as you are ending up looking for the given title in teh databses genre field.

I think you might want to use some sort of selection (switch/if..else) to decide which query string to use.
