[RESOLVED] DataGridView Error

Hi,

I am obviously doing something wrong. I am trying to hook up a search button so the user can search the database by last name. I have a textbox where the user types in the last name and then clicks search. Problem is that I keep getting an error that says (No value given for one or more required parameters.) referring to line- da.Fill(ds,"EmpAccessInfo") - when I use the following string:

strSearch = "SELECT * FROM EmpAccessInfo WHERE LastN LIKE " & txtSRCH_LN.Text

But it works fine and displays ALL the records when I use:

strSearch = "SELECT * FROM EmpAccessInfo"

Here is my code:

Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click

Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim strSearch As String

con.ConnectionString = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = C:\AppAccess_tst3.mdb"
con.Open()

strSearch = "SELECT * FROM EmpAccessInfo WHERE LastN LIKE " & txtSRCH_LN.Text
da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(strSearch, con)
da.Fill(ds, "EmpAccessInfo")
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables("EmpAccessInfo") ''DefaultViewManager


con.Close()

End Sub

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be great.

Thanks!

strSearch = "SELECT * FROM EmpAccessInfo WHERE LastN LIKE " & txtSRCH_LN.Text

ERROR: Left out the single ' around txtSRCH_LN.text

Working Code:
strSearch = "SELECT * FROM EmpAccessInfo WHERE LastN ='" & txtSRCH_LN.Text & "'"

Overlooked it.
