The error keeps showing that there is wrong with my INSERT INTO statement, can somebody help me? Don't judge please. Thank you.

What I have tried:

VB
If MessageBox.Show("DO YOU WANT TO SAVE THIS RECORD?", "TIPAS FOODCOURT KIOSK", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) = DialogResult.Yes Then
    cm = New OleDbCommand("insert into tblmerchant (DESCRIPTION, PRICE, STATUS, CATEGORIES, IMAGE PATH)values(@DESCRIPTION,@PRICE,@STATUS,@CATEGORIES,@IMAGE PATH)", cn)

    With cm
        .Parameters.AddWithValue("@DESCRIPTION", descrip.Text)
        .Parameters.AddWithValue("@PRICE", price.Text)
        .Parameters.AddWithValue("@STATUS", status1.Text)
        .Parameters.AddWithValue("@CATEGORIES", categ.Text)
        .Parameters.AddWithValue("@IMAGE PATH", path1.Text)
        .ExecuteNonQuery()


    End With

hi, here's the error message

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: 'Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.'

You have a blank space in the column name IMAGE PATH, which causes the error. So you either need to put square brackets round it (see below), or better still use a column name without spaces, e.g. IMAGE_PATH.
VB
cm = New OleDbCommand("insert into tblmerchant (DESCRIPTION, PRICE, STATUS, CATEGORIES, [IMAGE PATH])values(@DESCRIPTION,@PRICE,@STATUS,@CATEGORIES,@IMAGE PATH)", cn)

As noted by Richard Deeming below, the parameter name is also incorrect.

You'll also need to fix the parameter name, which also contains a space.

Yes, I forgot about that bit.

Hi, there's a space in parameters
Richard MacCutchan 3-Nov-22 9:35am    
Yes, and you need to fix it.

You cannot do that for the parameter name, just change it to "@IMAGEPATH", without the space. And make sure you change it both places.
