I define my connection string in my web.config, like so:

<appSettings>
            <add key="SiteDB" value="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DOTNETShoppingCart\Database\Site.mdb;"></add>
</appSettings>

Ok first thing if you want to perform a forward only type action such as writing to the database you would want to make it a datareader instead of a dataadapter, much more efficient, however you have a select command not an insert or update command so I guess the first question is what do you really want to do select for display in a datagrid, datalist, repeater or do you want to update your db with information from a form?  Let me know and we'll go from there.

sorry about this, I was just having a go, don’t really know what I am doing yet, but I am willing to learn by example, maybe if i explain better you can help

I have a database called cl.mdb, in there database is empty fields called title, name etc.

I need a form that the user can enter there details in like the one bellow

then once submited all this information gets put into my database. I have been told that I need to do it in asp.net vb no c# so they can change later if they like.

any example, and thank you in advanced
