Hello kram2by4,

Welcome to the Forums!

When you are posting code into the forum, can you please remember to surround it in [code][/code] or [HIGHLIGHT=vb][/highlight] tags? It makes it a lot easier to read. I have done this for you in your above post.

Thanks

Gary

The word 'Error' is very ambiguous, really it doesn't say anything. You should have provided an exact error message. An error message usually tells us what is wrong. If only people read them.
Anyway, your SQL command has a syntax error:

SELECT what? FROM InmateInfo;

Either there should be an asterisk * or a comma-separated list of fields to select.

Please also give your title a meaningful name, we understand you want help as you have made a post so no need to put that in the title! Something like ExecuteReader problem, or sql database help gives people a chance to find posts on the same subject later.
