Hi.I want to delete a particular record based on name from access database in vb.net
db name: stpltable name: equipmentsfield: Mandal, sal, Dateeg: Pune, 2000, 23/7/12 chennai, 1200, 11/5/12
If i want to delete pune from my record, I just want to press delete button, it should pop-up msgbox asking me to enter Mandal name, And when i enter mandal name: pune, then it shud check with the db whether the record exists, if yes then shud delete it otherwise it shud say:"no record exists".
My code is: here I used textbox, actually i want to use pop-up box.Iam getting error: object ref set not to instance of an object.
Try Mycn.Open() Dim command As String command = "delete from Equipments where Mandal='" & txtMan.Text & "';" myDA.DeleteCommand.CommandText = command myDA.DeleteCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() MessageBox.Show("Record deleted") Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show("no record") Finally Mycn.Close() End Try

Try Mycn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & System.Environment.CurrentDirectory & "\STPL.accdb") Dim sql As String sql = "Delete from Equipments where Mandal=" & Convert.ToString(txtMan.Text) & "" Mycn.Open() command = New OleDbCommand(sql, Mycn) command.ExecuteNonQuery() MessageBox.Show("Record Deleted Successfully", "Deleting Employee Details", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning) Mycn.Close() command.Dispose() ClearTextBox(Me) txtMan.Focus() Catch ex As OleDbException MessageBox.Show("Please enter Name only", "Deleting Employee Details", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error) txtMan.Focus() Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show("Please enter Name only", "Deleting Employee Details", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error) txtMan.Focus() End Try
