text file to datatable to SQL2005 table not working

[r1100r98]

I am having a problem moving the data from a datatable to the SQL2005
table (using VB2005). See code below. The SQL2005 table is empty, the
datatable is being filled from a text file, not from the SQL2005 table.
I have tried various ways, but the SQL table is not updating. Help
would be appreciated.
Code is below
Thanks
