I understand that this may be considered a duplicate question, but I am at an impasse and i do not know what it is I am doing wrong, I need help. The duplicate question said to use OLEDB in order to write to the Microsoft Access file, where as before I was using the SQL connection to accomplish my task. As far as i can tell there are no syntax, logic, or runtime errors and Visual Studios doesnt have an issue either.
When i run the code and go to add a new entry to the Microsoft Access Database Table, it says it worked, but when I go and look at the file there is NOTHING there. Someone please help me, I have goe through all the links, all the web pages, all the search engines, and I dont know what is wrong. I would love to learn what is wrong and how to fix it so I wont ever have to ask for help again.
Currently I am a college student and I am working on a team assignment. Our task, is to create a window that will take input from a user and then add it as a entry into an Microsoft Access File as if it were a SQL database.
The issue we are having is that we are trying to add the new entry to a local Microsoft Access file under the table named Artist. I have connected to an actual SQL server before and no one else in my group has, even worse no one has done this with using a Microsoft Access file on our PC either.
I have added the Database (Microsoft Access File) in Visual Studios using the Database Configuration Wizard. At first I was using straight SQL do to this and then i was told i need to use OLEDB in order to do this. SO I have implemented in the code and for some reason I still cannot get it to work. If anyone can give me a hand and tell me what it is I am doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.
Details that I believe are important for anyone to help me:
The name of the table I am attempting to write a new entry to: Artist
Name of the Microsoft Access File: Kays.accdb
Location of the Microsoft Access file: C:\KayDB\Kays.accdb (local machine)
Once again I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give me. I really am curious as to why the code is not working, please help me understand.
My code is as follows:
