Hello All,
First time poster, long time reader and thank you for all the previous help I have recieved from everyone. I am having trouble conneting to my access db. I think I have the bulk if this right, but I am getting an error on the newconnection.open() line. I am not sure why, can anyone point me in the right direction??

thanks in advance

 Private Sub BaleCutLogButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BaleCutLogButton.Click

        Dim newconnection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
       Dim addstr As String = "INSERT INTO `ADCBaleCutterLC` (`Old Formula`, `Newe Formula`,`Raw Material Name`,`Raw Material Number`,`Batch Number`,`Performed By`,`Preformed by Date`,`Verified By`,`Verified By Date`) VALUES (add1, add2, add3, add4, add5, add6, add7, add8, add9)"
        Dim addnewcommand As New OleDb.OleDbCommand

        addnewcommand.Connection = newconnection
        addnewcommand.CommandText = addstr

        addnewcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("add1", OldFormulaTextBox.Text)
        addnewcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("add2", NewFormulaTextBox.Text)
        addnewcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("add3", TextBox1.Text)
        addnewcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("add4", TextBox2.Text)
        addnewcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("add5", TextBox3.Text)
        addnewcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("add6", TextBox4.Text)
        addnewcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("add7", TextBox5.Text)
        addnewcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("add8", TextBox6.Text)
        addnewcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("add9", TextBox7.Text)

        newconnection.Open()
        addnewcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
        newconnection.Close()

        MsgBox("Account Created Successful")

        'modandreg.Show()
        Me.Close()
    End Sub
End Class

forgot the connection string and the open statement was incorrect :( geez no wonder this stuff takes me soooo long.
