I feel that this may have wandered a little bit off what I am trying to do, essentialy I'm simply trying to add records into a database ms (2003) using textboxes in visual basic.

Anyone know anything simple?

Thanks

ok. i hope it is not too late. this is what i have done in my school project and so far it is working good. here is the code.

Try

 Dim newRow As DataRow = DataSet1.Tables("Database_Table").NewRow()


            'Code for specifying the fields to be entered into the database

            newStudentsRow("Table_Field1") = TextBox1.Text
            newStudentsRow("Table_Field2") = TextBox2.Text


            'Code for adding a new row in the database

            Me.DataSet1.Tables("Table_Field1").Rows.Add(newRow)


            'Code for saving the entered details to the database
            Me.Database_TableTableAdapter.Update(Me.DataSet1.Database_Table)


            'close_connection()

            MsgBox("Record Successfully Saved", MsgBoxStyle.Information)

 Catch ex As Exception

            MsgBox("Error saving record", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation)
        End Try

End Sub
