Hi guys, i’m having trouble while storing date in an access database. The programming language is c# and database as said, is Microsoft access. Could someone point out what wrong am I doing and what needs to be done? I have a simple insert query that insert just 2 fields of the table. I.E. name and date. Consider the code: String name = txtName.text; DateTime date = convert.toDateTime (txtDate); String insert = “insert into dateOfJoining(name, date) values('” + name + “’, ‘” + date + “’”; OleDbCommand cmd1 = new OleDbCommand(insert, con); con.Open(); cmd1.ExecuteReader(); con.Close(); in this simple query, I get format exception in the date. I’m pretty sure that the date entered in txtDate is correct and in a proper MMDDYY format which I believe is default for access. Though, I’ve tried with DDMMYY as well. now, what wrong am I doing? I’m so embarrass that I’m not able to do this extremely simple task. Someone please help me.
