Inserting collected data into a access database

[mousewonders]

Hi Guys,

I am very new to VB. I am working on a project for class that will let people sign in to a fitness center and sign out.

I have no clue what I am doing. I have searched and read and read and I can't seem to figure out how to insert data that I collect on a form I created into an Access database.

I know I can do it if I drag and drop the tables onto the form but I need for the form to make sure the user exists before submitting the data. Here is the project

Access Database 3 Tables
WhoIsHere
Users
History


The WhoIsHere table has three fields:
UserID
TimeIn
DateIn

Users table:
UserID
Firstname
Lastname
EmpRelation

History table
UserID
TimeIn
DateIn
TimeOut
DateOut

Now, I have created 4 forms

A welcome form which shows a Sign In and a Sign Out and a Register Button

Sign In
One textbox (for the user to scan the ID) this is where I am stuck... I need upon scan to make sure the user exists by looking up the ID in the Users Table and if they do exist I need them inserted into the WhoIsHere Table with the date and time.

My goal is to move the record from the WhoIsHere upon signout to the History table and insert a time out.

Can someone please help me out? If I can see how this is done I should be able to figure out how to do the rest.

I would be willing to pay for some help if need be. Just let me know. I work best from examples.

Why doesn't this work? I have this assigned to a button:

Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
        con.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Documents and Settings\leightr\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\cma\cma\culverflex.mdb"
        Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
        Dim signInNow As String
        con.Open()
        signInNow = "INSERT INTO `whoishere` (`userid`, `timein`, `signdate`) VALUES (10, 12:00:30 PM, 12/22/81)"
        da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(signInNow, con)
        con.Close()

Well, I have figured out how to insert the data from a form into Access.

Now I need help with:


How do I look up a record based on input of a textbox (userid) and move it to another table?
