do you have simple code in finding record in the database?

That's pretty simple. Just add a textbox and modify the SQL string. If you still don't know how to do this then reply to this msg and I will create one for you if I have time.

I have been coding for several years and now using vb.net 2008. When I try to run your code I get an error on Object reference not set to an instance of an object,

newRow = dt.NewRow() Line 98 I set dt = new datatable because 99% of the time when I see this error it is because the the instance was not created as a new instance. Any Ideas? What version did you code this in ? Thanks Dwain

Use the following code.
  1.     Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
  2.         Try
  3.             ImageSlno = ComboBox1.Text
  4.  
  5.             Call LoadPhoto(ImageSlno)
  6.         Catch ex As Exception
  7.             MsgBox(ex.ToString)
  8.         End Try
  9.     End Sub
But I'm still wondering why you ask this. Because it is very easy. With your code above it seems that you know this already.

Private Sub btnAccept_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAccept.Click Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection con.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=..\data\YayaDB.mdb" con.Open() Dim query = "INSERT INTO Customer(Last Name,First Name, Contact No) VALUES(@LastName, @FirstName, @Contact)" Dim cmd = New OleDbCommand(query, con) cmd.Connection = con cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@LastName", txtLastName.Text) cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FirstName", txtFirstName.Text) cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Contact", txtContactNo.Text) cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() con.Close() Me.Close() End Sub
