Updating a record in ms-access database using c# unknown error

Question

I wanted to update a record in my ms-access database from a form using c# but nothing happens when I clicked my update button. There are no errors and no exceptions, it's just.. it doesn't do anything. I am puzzled and nearly going mad trying to figure out what is wrong. Please help me, I am new to C#.

My form has four textboxes and buttons (update, add, delete, and clear) and a listview. So far, I got the "add" and "clear" okay, the "delete" is not yet worked, and I am currently having trouble in the "update".

The listview acts as a table, invisibly holds the ID (width 0) of an employee while displaying the firstname and lastname of an employee from my database.

Each time a record is selected from the listview, the computer will get the invisible ID number of the selected row, and will display the corresponding data associated with the ID to the textboxes (firstname, middlename, lastname, address, position)

namespace WindowsFormsApp1
{


public partial class Form1 : Form
{

    string employeeID; //global variable 
    public void LvRefresh()
    {

        //this method is used to load records from the database
        //to the listview, it is also used to REFRESH the records of the listview.

        listView1.Items.Clear();
        listView1.View = View.Details;
        OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection();
        con.ConnectionString = @"Provider = Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source = C:\\Users\\genesis\\Documents\\Database1.accdb";
        con.Open();

        OleDbCommand cmdEmp = new OleDbCommand("Select ID,FN,LN from Employees", con);
        OleDbDataReader rdrEmp = cmdEmp.ExecuteReader();

        if (rdrEmp.HasRows)
        {

            while (rdrEmp.Read())
            {

                ListViewItem listitem = new ListViewItem(rdrEmp["ID"].ToString());
                listitem.SubItems.Add(rdrEmp["FN"].ToString());
                listitem.SubItems.Add(rdrEmp["LN"].ToString());
                listView1.Items.Add(listitem);

            }

        }
        con.Close();
        rdrEmp.Close();
        cmdEmp.Dispose();
    }



    public Form1()
    {

        InitializeComponent();
        LvRefresh(); //load the ID, FN, MN from the database to the listview
    }

            employeeID = item.Text; //update the value of global variable employeeID
            textBox1.Text = employeeID;

THE PROBLEM

    private void buttonUpdate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string Adrs = textADRS.Text;
        string Fname = textFN.Text;
        string Mname = textMN.Text;
        string Lname = textLN.Text;
        string Pos = textPOS.Text;

        try
        {

            OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection();
            con.ConnectionString = @"Provider = Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source = C:\\Users\\genesis\\Documents\\Database1.accdb";
            con.Open();

            OleDbCommand cmdEmp = new OleDbCommand("Update Employees set FN = @FirstName, MN = @MidName, LN = @LastName, [Address] = @Address, [Position] = @Pos where ID = @empID", con);
            cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@empID", employeeID));
            cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@FirstName", Fname));
            cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@MidName", Mname));
            cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@LastName", Lname));
            cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@Address", Adrs));
            cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@Position", Pos));
            cmdEmp.ExecuteNonQuery();

            MessageBox.Show("Record Updated!", "Nice!");
            con.Close();
            cmdEmp.Dispose();
            LvRefresh(); //refresh listview
        }

        catch (Exception error)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(error.Message);
        }

    }
}
}

NOTE: THE "RECORD UPDATED" MESSAGEBOX IN THE UPDATE FUNCTIONALITY IS DISPLAYED DESPITE NOT ACTUALLY UPDATING ANYTHING.

Add your parameters in the order they appear in your sql statment. Access needs them created in the order they appear.

 OleDbCommand cmdEmp = new OleDbCommand("Update Employees set FN = @FirstName, MN = @MidName, LN = @LastName, [Address] = @Address, [Position] = @Pos where ID = @empID", con);
        cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@FirstName", Fname));
        cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@MidName", Mname));
        cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@LastName", Lname));
        cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@Address", Adrs));
        cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@Position", Pos));
        cmdEmp.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@empID", employeeID));
       cmdEmp.ExecuteNonQuery();
