I'm trying to use the example on page 308 where I add the @firstName and @lastName parameter to the dbCommand, but when I execute the insert statement (dbCommand), I get the following error:
"Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Must declare the variable '@firstName'".

Incidentally, I'm also having trouble using the try/catch code.

Thanks for any help.

Can you please post your code?

Thanks, I've fixed the problem. I just changed to SqlClient and got it running. I was using OleDb since the example in the book used it, but I'm talking to SQLServer anyway.

Thanks again.
