Please use code tags

its hard to see them all..

i think your code is ok..maybe its about your inputs..
your inputs must be suitable with database criteria,,like date..

but i don't understand why u assignment value from textboxes to variables but u never using variables in select statment.

[Yousha]

I have configure the database to accept all fields as TEXT. Only for date and Tel it is as short date and number respectively. But still having the same problem.

[Yousha]

Its working now ive changed the datatype in the database.

Thanks for your help
