**

Please help me debug the code, I am experiencing error in this part:

  cmd.CommandText = "select ROUND(((date_from - date_to)/30),0) as months from rental where tenant_id = '" & Me.TextBox9.Text & "'"
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text

It says: Error while retriving record on the table.. There is already an open Data Reader associated with this command which muct be close first.

Why multiple reader instances? If you declare your DataReader outside of the Try block, you can re-use the same instance - you just have to close() it after each read. I don't use the OleDBDataReader so I'm not sure whether you have to also Dispose() the reader instance each time, ny gut call is "No"... to me, Dispose() implies that I am completely done with it and no longer need the object.

Clean up your code a bit and re-use the DataReader, I'll bet it works for you then.
