Insert value of fileUpload control into SQL column

Hello people,

I am looking at adding a facility for an admin user to upload an image of a selected user to the server, the user will be selected via the UserName.

The code below process the file by renaming the file that of the selected user's UserName, reassigns the file extension to the image  then uploads the image to the relative path. It is then supposed to add the file name of the newfile to the UserImage column of the database. It is this database part that appears to fall flat...

The exception I receive is:
ERROR: Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0.

This doesn't stop the file being renamed and uploaded so is clearly something to do with the insert statement I am using.

Any help much appreciated!
