database wont update

[D]

I am trying to add records to a database and getting no errors but the
databse is not updated.
Not sure what is wrong maybe in my function I'm losing some thing?
What do you think? My code is below.

Thanks

Your problem's right there: you're using Access. Use a real database
instead. SQL Server Express is free. So's SQL Server Compact Edition if you
need the ability to exchange databases as files. Snarking aside, though...

public void UpdateinDB(DbDa taAdapter dbrs, DataSet dbADOrs,
String[] fields)
{
DataTable dt = dbADOrs.Tables[0];
DataRow rec = dt.NewRow();
MessageBox.Show (dt.Columns[0].ToString());
if (fields[0] != "fundname")//file has header so ignore it.
{
rec["name"] = fields[0];
rec["date"] = fields[1];
rec["corr"] = fields[2];

try
{
dbrs.Update(dbA DOrs);//no update to the database occurs
here no exceptions triggered

You forgot to call .AddRow(). This always trips up newcomers (I speak from
experience), but .NewRow() doesn't actually add a new row to the table, it
just creates one based on the table's scheme.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/z16c79x4 for a sample.
