how to insert datarow into Access table?

VMI
Assuming I have a datarow (or a datarow collection), would it possible to
create an Access table and dump the datarow(s) into that Access table? I
wouldn't even need to create the fields in the Access table since the
datarow contains the exact table schema. I'm currently taking each datarow
and creating an Insert statement that i then run against Access.
I posted this question earlier and someone suggested "configure an
OleDbDataAdapte r with a proper connection and insert command, and then just
invoke Update on the pre-configured data adapter?". Then I asked him what my
Insert statement would look like (since I only have a datarow), but he
hasn't replied yet.
So assuming I have a datatable with all the rowsI need to insert, what would
my next step be?

Thanks.

Hi,

One way you can accomplish this is to loop through your collection. On the
first iteration use a SELECT INTO statement for the first row. This will
create the table and insert the values at the same time. On the next
iteration you can now use the normal INSERT INTO statement for the rest of
the rows that you have to insert. I have posted some sample syntax of the
sql statements for you below.

I hope this helps.
-------------------------
string InitInsert = "SELECT \"" + dt.Rows[0][0] + "\" as Field1, \"" +
dt.Rows[0][1] + "\" as Field2 INTO MyTest";
string SubInsert = "INSERT INTO MyTest (Field1, Field2) VALUES (\"" +
dt.Rows[0][0] + "\" , \"" + dt.Rows[0][1] + "\" )";

I'm having a bit of problems entering a new row to an access database and what I would like to know is do I have to assign certain values in my INSERT INTO SQL statement. I have read about the commandbuilder and it said that the insert command is automatically generated. Below is my code. Can someone help me out into where the syntax error is happening: Dim readwrite As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter Dim CmdBuilder As OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder

I have a rather simple script that transfers data from a SQL server database to an Access database.

I'm trying to take the data from strSQL below and "append / insert" that into the Access database. The problem is: although the listbox displays correctly, the Access table gets the first record inserted to the table multiple times - as many rows as there are in the source table. Obviously the Access parameters aren't getting updated properly. I've tried putting the .parameters.Add outside the for - next loop. No joy. Also, if...

I'm using OleDb to connect with an Access Database. I have anywhere from 10 to over 100 records that I need to either INSERT if the PK doesn't exist or UPDATE if the PK does exist, all in a single transaction. Does anyone have an SQL statement I can throw at it that would accomplish this? If I can't figure out how to do it, I'm going to have to send two discreet SQL commands for each record which will take infinitely longer than a...
