Why does this not work? Anyone, please...

According to the Visual Studio (2005) documentation this should work
but, while it does not report any errors, it does not update the
database, either.

So, please, anyone, why does this not work?

Does it show the data? If it doesn't update/insert data, I would look at
permissions. Keep in mind that any file-based database, such as MS Access,
requires write permissions on the database for the ASP.Net user account. I
usually add delete permissions just in case.
