well rizwan, here's the value of strsqlinsert strinsert = "INSERT INTO Transmittal(ReferencedTo, Title, NumberofCopies, Username, ProjectName, KindAttn, RevisionNumber, Action, DrawingDocumentNumber)" + "VALUES ('" + TextBox3.Text + "', '" + TextBox5.Text + "', '" + TextBox9.Text + "', '" + TextBox1.Text + "', '" + TextBox2.Text + "', '" + TextBox4.Text + "', '" + TextBox10.Text + "', '" + TextBox11.Text + "', '" + TextBox7.Text + "' )" it doesn't come in one line here. help me if you could.

Two problems... The first is that you don't have a spcae just before the word "VALUES", so your SQL looks likes this:
...Action, DrawingDocumentNumber)VALUES ('...
which I believe is a syntax error in SQL... Second, drop this string concatenation garbage and make your life much easier and convert this to parameterized queries. You'll automatically eliminate about 75% of the problems you get, like the one your facing now!, by using string concatenation...

strinsert = "INSERT INTO Transmittal(ReferencedTo, Title, NumberofCopies, Username, ProjectName, KindAttn, RevisionNumber, Action, DrawingDocumentNumber)" + **" VALUES ('"** + TextBox3.Text + "', '" + TextBox5.Text + "', '" + TextBox9.Text + "', '" + TextBox1.Text + "', '" + TextBox2.Text + "', '" + TextBox4.Text + "', '" + TextBox10.Text + "', '" + TextBox11.Text + "', '" + TextBox7.Text + "' )"All you had to do is add a space before your "VALUES" keyword. This is one reason why you DO NOT USE string concatenation to build your SQL statements. How you're building your statement can be broken so easily, it's silly. All the user has to do is put a ' character in any one of those text boxes and your code breaks. Learn how to do it the correct way now, before this bad habit becomes your normal method.

but dave if that is the case then it should give error in both the cases. in one form the syntax is working fine and in another form it's giving error. i have also double checked everything.

All I can say is you're doing something wrong. If you're using the EXACT same statement in both forms, you've missed a character somewhere. Think about it! If the statement works on one form, it must work. So what's different about it on the second form? RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

ii checked everything dave twice and thrice. but the webform on which the code doesn't work and gives the error. also doesn't work with a code as simple as this. strsqlinsert = "INSERT INTO Chec (first)" + " VALUES (" + TextBox1.Text + ")" if there is something wrong with it i don't know about it.

If your getting a "syntax error", you might want to consider what the field "first" is defined as and what is in the textbox.Text. If your trying to put a string into a number field, obviously, it's not going to work. Seriously, pick up a book on SQL and VB.NET and save yourself the aggravation.
