I have the following program:

Dim SetData As DataSet ' Stores the information
Dim Connection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim Adapter As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter

' Connect to the database
Connection.ConnectionString = "PROVIDER = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source = ./App_Data/VB.mdb"
Connection.Open() ' Open the database
' Get the information from the database
Adapter = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [Customer Query] WHERE [Name] = [George]", Connection)
SetData = New DataSet
Adapter.Fill(SetData, "Query") ' Store the database information in DataSet
Connection.Close() ' Close the connection


The problem appears to be with the where clause of the SQL query. When I remove the where clause, the program works fine. However, with the where clause I get this error:

No value given for one or more required parameters.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

When I use the where clause in a standard VB.NET windows application I have no problem, so I don't know what to do.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hey bobleny,

I'm not 100% sure about this one, but try changing [George] to 'George'.

Regards,
Mike

What!? Why!? Whatever...

Thanks Mike

What!? Why!? Whatever...

Thanks Mike


....??? What exactly is the issue here? And this wouldn't be the first time that when I try to help you, that I get that kind of a response in return. If I misinterpreted your tone, then please forgive me.

Anyway, like I was saying, inside your select statement, try changing [George] to 'George'.

No, I'm sorry. I can see how that could be misconstrued. The "Thanks Mike" was sincere. The "What!? Why!? Whatever..." was in response to the stupid SQL issue. I've done lots of SQL and never used square brackets, I've always used single quotes or none at all. For this APS.NET project however, if I didn't use them I got SQL errors. Then all of the sudden, I get the aforementioned error, in which I spend a couple hours trying to figure out, and it turns out I needed to use single quotes...
