无法使用SQL（OLEDB）C＃写入Microsoft Access文件

Question

I understand that this may be considered a duplicate question, but I am at an impasse and i do not know what it is I am doing wrong, I need help. The duplicate question said to use OLEDB in order to write to the Microsoft Access file, where as before I was using the SQL connection to accomplish my task. As far as i can tell there are no syntax, logic, or runtime errors and Visual Studios doesnt have an issue either.

When i run the code and go to add a new entry to the Microsoft Access Database Table, it says it worked, but when I go and look at the file there is NOTHING there. Someone please help me, I have goe through all the links, all the web pages, all the search engines, and I dont know what is wrong. I would love to learn what is wrong and how to fix it so I wont ever have to ask for help again.

Currently I am a college student and I am working on a team assignment. Our task, is to create a window that will take input from a user and then add it as a entry into an Microsoft Access File as if it were a SQL database.

The issue we are having is that we are trying to add the new entry to a local Microsoft Access file under the table named Artist. I have connected to an actual SQL server before and no one else in my group has, even worse no one has done this with using a Microsoft Access file on our PC either.

I have added the Database (Microsoft Access File) in Visual Studios using the Database Configuration Wizard. At first I was using straight SQL do to this and then i was told i need to use OLEDB in order to do this. SO I have implemented in the code and for some reason I still cannot get it to work. If anyone can give me a hand and tell me what it is I am doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.

Details that I believe are important for anyone to help me:

The name of the table I am attempting to write a new entry to: Artist

Name of the Microsoft Access File: Kays.accdb

Location of the Microsoft Access file: C:\\KayDB\\Kays.accdb (local machine)

Once again I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give me. I really am curious as to why the code is not working, please help me understand.

My code is as follows:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data.OleDb;

namespace Kay

public partial class Kay_Green : Form

    string Username,Fname, Mname, Lname, streetaddress, city, phonenumber, emailaddress, zipcode, taxIDnummber, state;

    string[,] SQLTable = new string[0, 10];

    public Kay_Green()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {//Save Button

        /*Upon clicking the save button, gather all info and save it into an temp array.
          Then send it to the SQL database.*/

        /*The order of the data in the array will be the same order in the SQL table.*/

        Fname = tbFirstName.Text;
        Mname = tbMiddleInitial.Text;
        Lname = tbLastName.Text;

        }

        Close();//Go back to switchboard from here


    }

    private void btnClear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

    }


}

Answer 1

This code

command = new OleDbCommand(sql, connection);

sets up a command but does not run it

you need to run this afterwards:

command.ExecuteNonQuery();

This has nothing to do with connection strings
