Read this article [^](I know it is long but you can skip to the parameterised query section) it will answer your question and give you additional information on sql.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Thanks for the quick response. Although I have learned something new in the article you posted, I still can't find what the problem is with my code.
What am I doing wrong? it looks valid syntax to me, but what do I know, I am new to this. I have been reading about INSERT INTO statement all day long and can't find whats wrong with my code.
Thanks

What database system? Oracle? MySQL? SQL Server?

I am Using MS Access 2007

But I am not using Named Parameters. I am really confused. I guess I have been reading way too long about this.

It looks like you think you are.

Should there not be a comma between the two parameter identifiers like:
Dim SQL As String = "Insert into Receipts (ReceiptDate,ReceiptTotal) values (:0, :1)"
|
|
|
|
|
I think those just aren't valid names/markers.

PieBALDconsult,
What do you mean by not valid names?
I have have them on my database exactly as you can see it. I have checked everything on the naming....is there anything you think I am missing? Please help!
Thanks.

You're more familiar with what exactly you are doing.
Typically, names aren't allowed to start with a digit.
My experience with Access (via OleDb) is that question marks (?) are preferred, but that names can be used if they're kept in order (as yours are).
I have also only see a colon (:) used for parameter names in Oracle.

PIEBALD Consult,
Thanks for your feedback. It really got me thinking. and I got it to work.
All I had to do is take the ( out. Man, I spent so much to do that.
I really appreciate how you help me focus on where I wanted.
Thank you again.

I'd be interested to see what you have now.

I was just guessing, based on the fact that there would generally be a comma separator in such expressions. However, from the further messages it seems that OP had not checked the documentation for proper format of the command.
