[RESOLVED] [02/03] Can't put together two strings, runtime error.

[YourSurrogateGod]

This is the offending piece of code, the boldened part is where the error occurs.

Dim sqlQuery As String = "INSERT INTO longdescs (bug_id, " & _
"bug_when, " & _
"thetext, " & _
"who) " & _
"VALUES ("
 
[b]sqlQuery &= data.Tables("ProblemTable").Rows(0).item(0).ToString & ", '"[/b]

This is the error that I'm getting while running it.

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I used New in order to create a new instance of the DataSet object so I don't understand the warning message about the object reference being not set.
