After connecting asp.net with ms access..

dim dbconn, sql , dbcomm, dbread
dbconn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; data source =" & server.mappath("PULSystem.mdb"))

dbconn.Open()

sql="SELECT * FROM Book WHERE BookID='" & id_txt.Text & "'"

dbcomm = New OleDbCommand(sql,dbconn)
dbread = dbcomm.ExecuteReader()

i would like to display a data from a field from a table into a textbox. How do i do that?

<%#Container.DataItem("BookID")%>
i did this for a table & it works fine but i can't put it into a textbox of label.
Please help me out here.. thanks!

Try
.....
dbread = dbcomm.ExecuteReader()

If not (dbread Is Nothing) Then
  textbox_name.Text = dbread.Item("BookID")
End if
....

or

While dbread.Read()
  textbox_name.Text = dbread.Item("BookID")
End While
......

assuming you are using:
<ASP:Textbox ID="textbox_name" RUNAT="server" />

Hope this helps,

Thanks..
But still there is a little problem saying that the row/column does not exist..
(The column do exits!)
