[2008] Data type mismatch in criteria expression. [SQL with ACCESS]

Error: Data type mismatch in criteria expression.

Code:

vb Code:

With frmMainMenu
            Dim SLen As Integer = Len(.lblCourse.Text)
            SLen = SLen - 8
            Dim BirthDate As String
            Dim GenderChk As String
            BirthDate = .txtMonth.Text & "/" & .txtDay.Text & "/" & .txtYear.Text
            If .rbMale.Checked = True Then
                GenderChk = "Male"
            ElseIf .rbFemale.Checked = True Then
                GenderChk = "Female"
            End If
            SQL = "INSERT INTO Course_" & .lblCourse.Text.ToCharArray(8, SLen) & " (LastName, FirstName, Gender, HomeRoom, StudentNumber, BirthDate, PhoneNumber, StudentEmail, ParentsEmail) VALUES('" & .txtLastName.Text & "','" & .txtFirstName.Text & "','" & GenderChk.ToString() & "','" & .txtHomeRoom.Text & "','" & .txtStudentNumber.Text & "','" & BirthDate.ToString() & "','" & .txtPhoneNumber.Text & "','" & .txtEmail.Text & "','" & .txtParentsEmail.Text & "')"
            Command = New OleDbCommand(SQL, Connection)
            Command.Connection.Open()
            Command.ExecuteReader()
            Command.Connection.Close()
        End With

Mainly This Part:

vb Code:

SQL = "INSERT INTO Course_" & .lblCourse.Text.ToCharArray(8, SLen) & " (LastName, FirstName, Gender, HomeRoom, StudentNumber, BirthDate, PhoneNumber, StudentEmail, ParentsEmail) VALUES('" & .txtLastName.Text & "','" & .txtFirstName.Text & "','" & GenderChk.ToString() & "','" & .txtHomeRoom.Text & "','" & .txtStudentNumber.Text & "','" & BirthDate.ToString() & "','" & .txtPhoneNumber.Text & "','" & .txtEmail.Text & "','" & .txtParentsEmail.Text & "')"

I used

vb Code:

.lblCourse.Text.ToCharArray(8, SLen)

Because I wanted to get the text that appeared after a certain piece of text which then defines the table I'm in.

If I can't use .ToCharArray, what can I do to split the text into 2, and use the last half?

.lblCourse.Text.substring(index of first character you want)

I'm still getting the same error with this SQL String

vb Code:

SQL = "INSERT INTO Course_" & .lblCourse.Text.Substring(8) & " (LastName, FirstName, Gender, HomeRoom, StudentNumber, BirthDate, PhoneNumber, StudentEmail, ParentsEmail) VALUES('" & .txtLastName.Text & "','" & .txtFirstName.Text & "','" & GenderChk.ToString() & "','" & .txtHomeRoom.Text & "','" & .txtStudentNumber.Text & "','" & BirthDate.ToString() & "','" & .txtPhoneNumber.Text & "','" & .txtEmail.Text & "','" & .txtParentsEmail.Text & "')"

IT then highlights

Command.ExecuteReader()

I think

Code:

---

GenderChk.toString

---

should be

Code:

---

GenderChk.Checked

---

Edit: Without Single Quote (')

Also you should have used

Code:

---

Command.ExecuteNonQuery()

---

Can someone explain what Command.ExecuteReader and Command.ExecuteNonQuery Do? Whats the Difference?

Edit: I tried both - tried removing GenderChk (which is a variable to check if its a male or female) but I'm still getting the error:

Heres my new Code

vb Code:

Public Sub InsertIntoStudents()
        With frmMainMenu
            Dim BirthDate As String
            Dim GenderChk As String
            BirthDate = .txtMonth.Text & "/" & .txtDay.Text & "/" & .txtYear.Text
            If .rbMale.Checked = True Then
                GenderChk = "Male"
            ElseIf .rbFemale.Checked = True Then
                GenderChk = "Female"
            End If
            Dim i As String = .lblCourse.Text.Substring(8)
            SQL = "INSERT INTO Course_ICS3M1" & " (LastName, FirstName, HomeRoom, StudentNumber, BirthDate, PhoneNumber, StudentEmail, ParentsEmail) VALUES('" & .txtLastName.Text & "','" & .txtFirstName.Text & "','" & .txtHomeRoom.Text & "','" & .txtStudentNumber.Text & "','" & BirthDate & "','" & .txtPhoneNumber.Text & "','" & .txtEmail.Text & "','" & .txtParentsEmail.Text & "')"
            Command = New OleDbCommand(SQL, Connection)
            Command.Connection.Open()
            Command.ExecuteNonQuery()
            Command.Connection.Close()
        End With
    End Sub
