Here i got the problem of "Data type mismatch in criteria expression.". Please help me...

To answer your question, we need to know:

  1. What is the table definition for Users?
  2. What values are in UserNameTextBox.Text and PasswordTextBox.Text?

It would also help (you just as much as us) to look at the final SQL query string in cmd.CommandText.
