Hello,

If you are using c# you could try something like this:

 

1    private void cmdNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
2    {
3    string insertSQL;
4                insertSQL = "INSERT INTO Users (Fname, Lname) VALUES
(@Fname, @Lname)";
5                OleDbConnection con = OleDbConnection(conncetionstring);
6                OleDbCommand cmd = OleDbCommand(insertSQL, con);
7    8                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Fname",
txtFname.Text);
9                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Lname",
txtLname.Text);
10   11   try12               {
13                   con.Open();
14                   cmd.ExecuteNonQuery;
15               }
16   17   catch (Exception err)
18               {
19                   blError.Text = err.Message;
20               }
21   22   finally23               {
24                   con.Close();
25               }
26   }


  

In this example you have 2 textboxes names txtFname and txtLname. a Button 
named cmdNew and a label named lblError so can see if there is an error while
trying to connect to the database.


 The button should have an onClick event named cmdNew_Click


 

On the place of connectionString you put something like
"Provider=MySQLProv;Data Source=mydb;User
Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword" For more information on connection
strings see http://www.connectionstrings.com/?carrier=mysql

 

I hope this will help you, if you have any more questions feel free to ask
them.

Arnold
