Hi, try with the following statement for inserting value into Datetime field string sttiming = DateTime.Parse(DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString(), System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US").DateTimeFormat) instead of ur DateTime dttimenow = DateTime.Now; dttimenow.ToShortTimeString(); lbtime.Text = dttimenow.ToShortTimeString(); string sttiming = lbtime.Text; code.

In "tblSave" table, if CWords and WPM columns are of VarChar Datatype then you have to alter update query as below: 'UPDATE tblSave SET Level='" & level & "',Exercise='" & exercise & "',CWords='" & CW & "',FWords='" & FWds & "',WPM='" & RCW & "',SpanTime='" & SpanTime & "' WHERE tblSave.UserName='" & CurrentUser & "'" And For Level, Excercise, FWords and SpanTime columns ur giving one space after single quote, if the query runs successfully that space will also insert into the database.
