Hi Guys
I am coding as very simple database in VB.net. I have decided to manually code my buttons but for some reason my save button returns with an error. Below is my code for my entire program (I know its not perfect).

This is the error i Get:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException' occurred in System.Data.dll

Additional information: Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

Here is my code:

Imports System.Data.OleDb

    Dim MaxRows As Integer
