I am in Chapter 7. I have entered all from pages 147 to 151. When I try to "add" a record, I get the following message: "Cast from string "" to type byte is not valid". The error occurs when the following code is executed:
objData.AddParameter("@SequenceNumber", OleDb.OleDbType.UnsignedTinyInt, 1, CType(txtSequenceNumber.Text, byte))

I also tried the sample code provided by this site and got the same message. I tried changing the "byte" to "integer" and that did not work (of course it wouldn't, would it? Since Sequence number is set up in Access as byte.)

I am working with VB.net 2003 and Access 2002 on XP Pro. Does anyone have any idea of how to correct this?

Thankx :)

Nevermind. This was a case of SYS (Stupid User Syndrome). Need to hit the Add button after you populate the fields and not before. Guess I will have to add that message to my version.
